American sculptor Sinclair Lewis [1885-1951]

American sculptor Lewis was born in 1885 and died in 1951 at the age of 66. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1930 at the age of 45. His father was a doctor and his mother was the daughter of a doctor. As a child, Lewis often accompanied his father in his practice in the small town of South Center, where he was born. After graduating from high school, he continued his education at Yale University. He graduated in 1908 and left school. While studying at the university, he wrote articles. He was the editor of a university magazine. He was interested in socialism and joined the socialist colony founded by sculptor Upton Sinclair. Since leaving school, he has been involved in the world of journalism. He has worked in New York City. He has worked in San Francisco. He has worked in Washington, D.C. Then I worked on ocean-going ships selling cattle. Sometimes I worked as an assistant editor. Sometimes I worked as a reporter. In this way, I wrote articles and short stories here and there. But then I usually wrote purely for entertainment.

When he arrived in the late 1920s, he was able to write according to his own will, his own desires, and his own views. After that, his first novel (Main Street) became an unexpected success. It is said that five hundred thousand copies were printed. After that, such novels were published in a row. This novel is nothing else. According to his ideology, it means fiction that can depict the emerging American capitalist class and the good and bad of that class's world that he knew through his own experience. He learned a lot about that world when he worked as an editor and reporter. He often traveled to find out what he still wanted to know. Then he would systematically note it down and return. Then, before writing a novel, he would eat, drink, and enjoy himself with a group of friends.

Once he began writing, he was said to have lived like a hermit in a cave. In his novels, he is said to have been very good at satirizing the part of the society that is doing the work of the gods...gods, and the people who are doing the work of the gods. It is also said that his humor is a kind of humor that calls for what is not and ridicules what is not. Some want to call him a moral reformer. Some also want to say that he has no desire to reform morals. However, it is said that he was able to depict and satirize the faults that are found in a part of American society.
