A blockbuster success when it was first released in 1927, Sinclair Lewis' "e;Elmer Gantry"e; tells the story of a self-absorbed, narcissistic young drifter who - seeking easy money - is drawn into the world of Evangelism and manages to become a successful minister despite his serial sexual indiscretions. Upon its publication, this satire of religious hypocrisy in America was denounced in pulpits from coast-to-coast and the book was banned and vilified by scores of clerics and religious figures as blasphemous (ironically helping to boost sales). A towering literary achievement, "e;Elmer Gantry"e; has been adapted for the stage and screen numerous times and the book itself has become an American classic. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
