The novel takes place in the 1910s, with references to the start of World War I, the United States' entry into the war, and the years following the end of the war, including the start of Prohibition. Satirizing small-town life, Main Street is perhaps Sinclair Lewis's most famous book, and led in part to his eventual 1930 Nobel Prize for Literature. It relates the life and struggles of Carol Milford Kennicott as she comes into conflict with the small-town mentality of the residents of Gopher Prairie. Highly acclaimed upon publication, Main Street remains a recognized American classic. (en)

  • La via principale (Main Street) è un romanzo di Sinclair Lewis, pubblicato nell'ottobre 1920. È il racconto satirico della provincia americana (ambientato in Minnesota), con i suoi tradimenti e le sue ipocrisie. Un tema che l'autore riprenderà in Babbit. Nel 1923 ne venne tratto un film muto omonimo diretto da Harry Beaumont con Florence Vidor nella parte di Carol Milford e Monte Blue nella parte del marito Will Kennicott. (it)
  • Main Street (em português: Rua Principal) é um livro de autoria de Sinclair Lewis publicado em 1920. Considerado seu maior sucesso literário, foi lançado após Nosso Mr. Wrem (título original: Our Mr. Wrenn) e A Trilha do Falcão (título original: The Trail of the Hawk), obras que não empolgaram, tanto em crítica quanto em público. Rua Principal mostra o tédio e a aridez intelectual dos pequenos centros do oeste americano quando uma moradora do leste se casa com um médico e muda-se para uma retrógrada cidade do interior. (pt)
