Our Mr. Wrenn: The Romatic Adventures of a Gentle Man - Sinclair Lewis - Bog

Bag om Our Mr. Wrenn: The Romatic Adventures of a Gentle Man

"In story and in treatment the novel is wholly of our own day, but in spirit and feeling it makes evident the paternity of Charles Dickens." -"Latest Works of Fiction," The New York Times, March 1, 1914 Our Mr. Wrenn is an early example of Sinclair Lewis's capacity for creating memorable characters who have many of the characteristics of stereotypes. In this case, Mr. Wrenn is a poorly paid and underappreciated salesclerk whose primary pleasure in life comes from a rich fantasy life, which, for Wrenn, involves as much travel as possible. Coming into an inheritance suddenly allows him to live out his fantasies, and the reader is given the opportunity to delight in Wrenn's metamorphosis.
