This novel is the work of American writer, Sinclair Lewis, and was published in (the year) 1922.
The story's protagonist
is a small town businessman by the name of George Babbitt.
George Babbitt is also a most avid proponent of his town and considers it the best little city in the world.
Zenith is the town of reference and the scope of George Babbit's aspirations.
In the end, however, George Babbitt, in a very vague sense, is able to realize that the town he terms as "the greatest" is not the whole of existence-its just that George is never able to fully act upon this realization.
