Více o knize
The story follows Reverend Dr. Elmer Gantry, a charismatic yet hypocritical figure drawn to the allure of alcohol, wealth, and women. Set against the backdrop of 1920s America, it explores the fervent world of fundamentalist and evangelistic movements. Despite his moral failings and a series of sexual escapades, Gantry rises to prominence as a Methodist minister, embodying the contradictions of faith and desire in a society grappling with its own values. The novel serves as a sharp critique of religious fervor and public perception during the era.
