First published in 1919, "Free Air" is a road novel by American author and Nobel Laureate Sinclair Lewis. A silent film adaptation of the novel was also released in 1922.

"Free Air" follows the adventures of Claire Boltwood, an aristocratic New Englander who, in the early days of the 20th century, travels with her father by automobile from New York City to the Pacific Northwest, where she falls in love with a nice, down-to-earth young man...

"Free Air" was one of the first novels about an automobile-powered road trip across the United States, decades before Jack Kerouac's “On the Road,” dependable vehicles, and interstate highways. It offers fascinating accounts of America's little travelled, scenic byways, from Great Cloud, Minnesota to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone in Wyoming.

Autorenporträt
Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) was an influential American novelist, playwright, and social critic, known for his sharp and insightful commentary on American society. He was born in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, and his experiences growing up in the Midwest deeply influenced his writing. Lewis gained prominence for his ability to blend social satire with realistic and romantic elements, creating vivid portrayals of American life and character. His work often explores themes of individualism, societal expectations, and the identity crisis faced by individuals navigating a rapidly changing society. Some of his notable works are Main Street (1920): A critique of small-town life and its narrow-mindedness, focusing on the struggles of a progressive woman trying to reform her community. Babbitt (1922): A satirical look at the life of a middle-class businessman, exposing the conformism and materialism of American society. Arrowsmith (1925): A novel about a scientist's quest for truth and personal integrity in the face of professional and personal challenges. Elmer Gantry (1927): A biting satire of religious hypocrisy, featuring a charismatic but unscrupulous preacher. Lewis's work is characterized by its social critique and humor, and he is celebrated for his ability to address complex social and moral issues with both depth and accessibility. His novels remain influential for their exploration of American culture and their challenge to societal norms.
