| Description: | America’s great storyteller has now written a compelling, affirmative novel of the coming to maturity in frontier Minnesota of a young missionary out of New England. Fired by the promptings of his conscience, torn by the insistent demands of the flesh, stimulated by the emotional and intellectual urge of religious fervor, he plays a heroic part in the rugged drama of pioneer life. With complete accuracy Mr. Lewis might have sub-titled his story “The Education of Aaron Gadd.” Moving among a host of memorable characters meticulously drawn, Aaron experiences moments of exaltation and despair, of physical violence and spiritual calm, of romantic love and passionate desire. Of the women whose lives touch his, two enchant and trouble him most: Selene, daughter of an Indian woman and a Scotch fur trader, and Huldah, ardent young missionary. The earthy conflict precipitated by these two adds a colorful thread to the pattern of Aaron’s youthful progress.—from the jacket [Suggest a different description.] |

Author Bio for Lewis, Sinclair
Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) was a noted American writer. He became known in the 1920s for his books that satirized the spartan materialism and intolerance that typified life in small towns across the country. The word 'babbitt' (his book by that name written in 1922), is still used as a synonym for middle-class philistinism. He refused the Pulitzer Prize for Arrowsmith (1925) but accepted the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930, becoming the first American to be awarded that prize. (Chambers Biographical Dictionary)
