PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Published under the Signet Classics banner, these five novels from Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Sinclair Lewis illuminate and satirize the American experience in the 20th century, examining the effects of the societal forces of ignorance, greed, and corruption on topics ranging from small-town life, medicine, capitalism, religion, and politics. Our stylish and iconic repackages of Main Street, Babbitt, Arrowsmith, Elmer Gantry, and It Can’t Happen Here are a cohesive set that equally highlight all five titles for a modern audience whose renewed interest in Lewis’s works began with the 2016 United States presidential election.
Designed as a set in February 2022 for ebook editions
