✦ Synopsis


Al relatar la vida de Elmer Gantry, primero como estudiante y viajante de comercio, luego como inescrupuloso aventurero que pasa sin la menor vacilación del metodismo al baptismo y de éste al evangelismo, siempre obsesionado por la ambición de trepar a los puestos más altos utilizando la religión, las mujeres, la general estupidez o lo que sea, Sinclair Lewis inmortalizó la imagen de un personaje de la moderna picaresca, nueva Lazarillo en el que toda ingenuidad se ha perdido, sacrificada a los valores de un mundo materialista. Discutida, atacada, aclamada, llevada a la pantalla, «Elmer Gantry» es ya una novela clásica, traducida a los principales idiomas en centenares de ediciones. Su autor, laureado con el premio Nobel, contribuyó a dar una fisonomía propia a la literatura norteamericana con sus famosas novelas.
