  • Babbit è un romanzo di Sinclair Lewis, pubblicato nel 1922.Ha avuto un notevole successo di pubblico e di critica, nella narrazione viene delineato il ritratto dello statunitense di mezza età con le classiche caratteristiche da americano medio. Il personaggio, agente immobiliare, imbevuto di mediocrità borghese, un po' alla volta inizia ad uscire dalla monotona vita che conduce, fatta di umori mutevoli, di conformismo e di noia, di inutili tentativi di evasione, una vita tutta al servizio degli affari e dell'efficienza, tutta chiesa presbiteriana e famiglia, per avere strane avventure.
