Elmer Gantry is a satirical novel written by Sinclair Lewis in 1926 that presents aspects of the religious activity of America in fundamentalist and evangelistic circles and the attitudes of the 1920s public toward it.

After various forays into evangelism, he becomes a successful Methodist minister despite his hypocrisy and serial sexual indiscretions.

  • Elmer Gantry é um romance escrito por Sinclair Lewis em 1926 que representa satiricamente aspectos da atividade religiosa da América nos círculos fundamentalistas e evangelísticos e a atitude pública nos anos 1920 relativamente ao tema. Esta desapiedada sátira de Sinclair lida com religiosidade e a hipocrisia fanáticas nos Estados Unidos na década de 1920, apresentando um pregador asqueroso (o Reverendo Dr. Elmer Gantry) como protagonista que prefere "seduzir jovens garotas", bebida e dinheiro fácil em vez de salvar almas, ao mesmo tempo que converte uma cruzada de revivalismo numa tenda itinerante num império da rádio extremamente rentável e permanente para os seus empregadores da igreja evangélica. Elmer Gantry foi publicado pela primeira vez nos EUA pela editora Harcourt Trade Publishers em março de 1927 e foi dedicado por Lewis ao jornalista e satírico norte-americano Henry Louis Mencken.

  • Elmer Gantry är en satirisk roman från 1927 av Sinclair Lewis som handlar om en fundamentalistisk protestantpredikant i Mellanvästern. När romanen utgavs väckte den rabalder, inte minst i kristna fundamentalistiska kretsar. Elmer Gantry bannlystes i flera städer och predikanten kallade Lewis "Satans kohort". Romanen utspelar sig i olika fiktiva orter i gränstrakterna mellan delstaterna Kansas och Missouri. Som förarbete på romanen observerade Lewis både kristna fundamentalister och fritänkare i Kansas City. Romanen har legat till grund för filmen Elmer Gantry från 1960 och operan från 2007. (sv)
