Dodsworth. Illustrated

About this book

Dodsworth (1929) is a compelling novel by Sinclair Lewis, the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. This illustrated edition brings fresh life to one of Lewis's most insightful and poignant works. The story follows Samuel Dodsworth, a successful American automobile executive, as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery through Europe alongside his restless and status-driven wife, Fran. As the couple navigates foreign cities and cultures, their differing values come to the surface. Fran craves social prestige and romantic excitement, while Sam searches for meaning and authenticity beyond material success. Lewis brilliantly uses the European backdrop to contrast American provincialism and modern existential disillusionment. Through Sam's evolving worldview, Lewis critiques both the glitter of post-war European sophistication and the emptiness of consumer-driven American values. With sharply drawn characters and vivid cultural observations, Dodsworth explores themes of aging, identity, marriage, and the price of progress. It is a deeply human novel, balancing satire with genuine emotional insight. Sam's transformation from a pragmatic businessman into a man forced to reevaluate everything he thought he knew about life and love remains profoundly relevant. This classic remains one of Lewis's finest and most mature works—a nuanced portrait of the American abroad, and a meditation on the pursuit of personal fulfillment. The illustrated edition enhances the reading experience, offering visual context to the narrative's elegant European settings and emotional terrain.
