Dodsworth

In Sinclair Lewis' "Dodsworth," we meet Sam Dodsworth, a 50-year-old millionaire and staunch American capitalist, who reluctantly sells his stake in his auto manufacturing firm at the urging of his wife, Fran. Seeking to revitalize their marriage through a European adventure, Sam soon finds that Fran is drawn more to the allure of high society than to their relationship. This sharp and satirical tale not only explores the complexities of a crumbling marriage but also offers a vivid glimpse into a bygone Europe, showcasing Lewis' keen insights into American culture.
