Summary

Sinclair Lewis: Dodsworth

Nobel Prize Winner for Literature

Samuel Dodsworth is an ambitious, wealthy car manufacturer in the fictional American town of Zenith. In addition to his success in the business world, as a young man he won over the flirtatious Frances, a beautiful young member of high society. Accomplished as a mother and wife, Fran persuades Sam to go on a multi-month trip to Europe, at a time when his career is at its peak, but also at a turning point. During a tour of Europe, millionaire Sam Dodsworth and spoiled Fran, eager for male attention, social success and luxury, will have different aspirations and expectations. While Sam sincerely wants to get to know different cultures, Fran is fascinated by the manners of European high society, which will seriously shake up their marriage. With a gallery of colorful heroes who will be in the company of the wealthy Dodsworths, surrounded by magnificent places and landscapes, the reader becomes a silent observer of the psychological drama of the two protagonists.

As one of the writers of the "lost generation", Sinclair Lewis enjoyed great popularity during his lifetime, his novels were adapted for theater and film, but he was unfairly overshadowed by Faulkner, Fitzgerald and Hemingway. The novel Dodsworth wrote at the height of his fame, just before he became the first American author to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Lewis's fine observations and witty remarks about the differences between American and European culture will be valuable to the modern reader because he will recognize in them patterns of behavior that still exist today.
