Beschreibung

The Collected Works of Sinclair Lewis presents an expansive anthology encapsulating the career of one of America's preeminent literary figures. Within these pages, readers will encounter a rich tapestry of Lewis's keen social critique, exemplified in his novels such as "Main Street" and "Babbitt," which dissect the fabric of American life in the early 20th century. His masterful use of satire and vivid characterizations showcases his exceptional prowess in chronicling the disillusionments of modernity and the complexities of social interactions amidst the cultural shifts of the Roaring Twenties. Sinclair Lewis, the first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1930, emerged from a Midwestern upbringing that deeply influenced his perspectives on society and its institutions. He drew upon his experiences and observations of small-town America to craft narratives that resonate with universal themes of ambition, conformity, and individuality. His body of work not only critiques but also offers an insightful reflection on the American psyche, revealing the struggles and triumphs of an evolving nation. This collected works is an essential read for students, scholars, and lovers of American literature. It invites deep exploration into the societal norms that shaped not only Lewis's writings but also the world at large during his time. Engage with these seminal texts to uncover the enduring relevance of Lewis's observations in today's sociopolitical landscape.

And that’s probably the best gift we have. Because, for the most part, there’s no right or wrong way to do things – life becomes whatever you make it. 
    This book has been written for you.

    Six weeks before her eighth birthday in May of 2024, my granddaughter Paige Schilling was diagnosed with a brain tumor. 
    Paige underwent a 14-hour brain surgery at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The tumor was successfully removed and Paige began a lengthy period of rehabilitation.  
    During this time, Paige received so many gifts from friends and family that her father considered renting a storage unit. Instead of giving her another stuffed toy, I decided to write letters to Paige. The letters describe real events from my own life beginning from a time before television existed. 
    The letters introduce Paige to members of her extended family, including aunts and uncles (my six brothers and sisters), her great-grandparents, and even her great-great-grandparents.  
    The episodes celebrate the adventure ride of just being a child in a large entertaining family.

    England in the 19th century. Victoria is on the throne. The nation is at its height. An Empire stretching around the globe. Industrial and scientific advancement. Literary and artistic excellence. 
     
    And yet, behind the glow of this supposedly golden age, there lay hidden human misery and extremes of depravity. This was the age of Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper and the terrible poverty of millions living in slums. Drink, drugs, prostitution, murder. All these were the norm in the dark and dirty back alleys of the cities. 
     
    In the small village of Pyle Marsh just outside of Bristol, lived a master shoemaker by the name of Samuel Hobley. He and his wife were comfortable and raised five children. The youngest of these was the girl who would later be known as Amelia Dyer. She would become one of the worlds most notorious serial killers. We know her today as the Angel Maker.

    Candid essays on personal and cultural American nostalgia, focusing on the author’s working-class, Rust Belt family history. What does it mean to be nostalgic for the American past? The feeling has been co-opted by the far right (“Make America Great Again,” after all, is a plea for the past), and associated with violent periods of our country’s history when white supremacy was even more dominant than today. Can a liberal white woman still be sentimental about her childhood, her European immigrant family history, her working-class upbringing?  In Dreadful Sorry, Jennifer Niesslein explores her “nostalgia problem” with grace and curiosity. The essays recount her thoughts upon rewatching Little Women with her sisters and mother, her hand-to-mouth childhood, the effect being “not the right kind of white” had on her Polish immigrant ancestors in the U.S, and her family’s own racism. Niesslein weaves together personal and structural questions of class, whiteness, history, and family with humor and charisma.  A book for anyone who wants to think about their relationship to their childhood, family history, and place.
