«A chillingly prophetic prefiguration of current issues» - Guardian
«Not only Lewis's most important book but one of the most important books ever produced in the United States» - New Yorker
A vain, excessive, anti-immigrant, terrorizing demagogue runs for the presidency of the United States - and wins. Sinclair Lewis's chilling 1935 bestseller is the story of Buzz Windrip, "Professional Common Man," who promises poor, angry voters that he will make America proud and prosperous again, but leads the country down a much darker path. As the new regime slides towards authoritarianism, newspaper editor Doremus Jessup can't believe it will last - but is he right?
This cautionary tale of liberal indifference to bloated tyranny shows that it can really happen here.
