MAIN STREET - SINCLAIR LEWIS TASCHENBUCH

Young college graduate Carol Kennicott moves from a big city to Gopher Prairie  Minnesota  the
small town from which her new husband hails. Imbued with ideals of urban improvement  she
dreams of redesigning her adopted village  but her efforts are thwarted by the
narrow-mindedness  pettiness and conventionality of the locals  who conspire against her and
deride all her endeavours. An enormous commercial and critical success on its first publication
in 1920  Main Street - regarded by many as Sinclair Lewis's best novel - delivers a scathing
satire on the American dream  and is invaluable as a document of pre-Prohibition Middle
America.
