关于本书

Elmer Gantry, a loud, handsome, hard-drinking college football player with no real faith, drifts into the ministry because he enjoys an audience. He becomes a travelling evangelist alongside the passionate revivalist Sharon Falconer, then a Methodist preacher who climbs the ladder of success with sensational sermons and campaigns against vice, while secretly drinking, chasing women and betraying everyone who trusts him.

背景与意义

Sinclair Lewis published the novel in 1927, and its savage portrait of religious hypocrisy caused an uproar; it was banned in several American cities and denounced from pulpits. The 1960 film won Burt Lancaster an Oscar. Read also Arrowsmith and Babbitt.
