{"product_id":"elmer-gantry-sinclair-lewis-9789373402499","title":"Elmer Gantry","description":"Elmer Gantry examines the intersection of religious authority and personal ambition through the life of a man whose charm masks deep contradictions. The novel traces how charisma, unchecked desire, and opportunism can flourish within institutions built on moral certainty. As public roles and private impulses clash, the narrative reveals how belief can become a tool for power rather than a path to truth. Attention is drawn to how easily rhetoric and performance can overshadow sincerity, and how the structures meant to uphold integrity can instead amplify hypocrisy. The protagonist's rise is not driven by spiritual awakening but by a desire for dominance, framed by a world that rewards spectacle and punishes doubt. The work challenges readers to consider the cost of institutionalized faith and the moral blindness that often accompanies it. Rather than condemning religion itself, the story critiques its corruption by ego and manipulation. In doing so, it offers a stark look at how identity is shaped by performance, and how personal failure can be recast as divine purpose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sinclair Lewis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9373402498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789373402499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Double 9 Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.88d","brand":"Sinclair Lewis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48743049298175,"sku":"9789373402499","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elmer-gantry-sinclair-lewis-9789373402499","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
