Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Set in 19th-century New England and the emerging Minnesota Territory, The God-Seeker follows Aaron Gadd, a carpenter turned missionary, who leaves behind a rigid patriarch and a troubled past to spread the gospel among the Sioux. Wrestling with religious zeal, moral conflict, and human passion, Aaron must confront his deepest convictions and choose between inherited duty and the uncertain promise of a new world. A sweeping novel of personal faith, family strife, and America's westward expansion.Lewis was the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, awarded in 1930 for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to create, with wit and humor, new types of characters. Some of his most famous works include Main Street, Babbitt, Elmer Gantry, and It Can't Happen Here-all sharp critiques of American middle-class life, religion, capitalism, and conformity.
