Sobre IBD

Satirical novel about American culture, society, and middle-class pressure toward conformity. An immediate and controversial bestseller, Babbitt was influential in the decision to award Lewis the Nobel Prize in literature. The word 'Babbitt' entered the English language as a person and especially a business or professional man who conforms unthinkingly to prevailing middle-class dogmas.
