Liebe Lovelybooks-Leser.
Durch die aktuellen Ereignisse wird wieder 1984 von George Orwell gelesen. It Can’t Happen Here ist neu in unserem Penguin Classics Katalog, aber deshalb nicht weniger bedeutend. Sinclair Lewis hat den Titel in den 30er Jahren des zwanzigsten Jahrhundert geschrieben, der nicht nur 1935 zum Bestseller in den Vereinigten Staaten wurde, sondern heute sogar noch mehr Resonanz erzeugt und Relevanz aufweist.
Ein absolutes Must-Read dieses Frühjahr, falls ihr das Buch noch nicht gelesen habt und jede Menge zu diskutieren in der Leserunde.
BOOK DESCRIPTION
It's 1935 and discontent is rife in America. From the political margins appears Buzz Windrip, charismatic presidential candidate and 'inspired guesser at what political doctrines the people would like'. Sweeping to power amid mass elation, he promises wealth for all and the dawn of a glorious new era. Small-town newspaper editor Doremus Jessop is worried, especially when the new regime becomes increasingly authoritarian. But what can one individual do to fight an all-powerful state? Sinclair Lewis's terrifying cautionary tale pits liberal complacency against popular fascism and shows: yes, it really can happen here.
AUTHOR
Sinclair Lewis was born in 1885 in Minnesota. He attended Yale University and subsequently worked as a reporter and editor. In 1920, he had a major breakthrough with Main Street (1920), which was followed by Babbitt (1922) and many other successful novels. He won the Nobel Prize in 1930 and in 1935 wrote the bestselling It Can't Happen Here, a cautionary tale about the rise of a fascist president in America. He died in Rome in 1951.
