Beschreibung

Sinclair Lewis's novel, 'Elmer Gantry' (Unabridged), delves into the world of early 20th-century evangelicalism, exploring the charismatic yet hypocritical character of Elmer Gantry as he rises through the ranks of a religious organization. The book is a scathing critique of religious hypocrisy and the manipulation of believers for personal gain. Through its vivid and satirical prose, Lewis shines a light on the darker aspects of organized religion and its leaders, making a powerful statement on the dangers of blind faith. The novel's gripping plot and sharp social commentary make it a standout work in American literature, pushing boundaries and challenging societal norms. Sinclair Lewis, a Nobel Prize-winning author known for his critical eye and social satire, drew inspiration from real-life evangelists and scandals of the time to craft the character of Elmer Gantry. His keen observations and sharp wit are evident in every page, creating a compelling narrative that resonates with readers long after they finish the book. Fans of thought-provoking literature and those interested in the intersection of religion and society will find 'Elmer Gantry' a captivating and enlightening read.

He kept his vast fortune hidden somewhere on his estate in the south of England and died suddenly, without telling anyone where he had concealed it.

It doesn't take long for a bevy of opportunists to flock to the estate under the guise of offering condolences. Tressa knows what they're really up to. She'll have to work with the rough and rusticated vineyard manager to keep the laborers content without pay and discover the key to finding her father's fortune--before someone else finds it first.
