Born into the first generation of an immigrant family from Norway,
Carl Ericson was always bound to have differing philosophies than
his parents. However, when these new, free-thinking ideas result in
an expulsion from college, Carl must find a way to fit in with the
society’s culture and values without stifling his independence.
However, Carl has a difficult time achieving this in the rigid
workplace standards of the 20th century. He becomes a vagabond of
sorts, jumping from job to job, each making Carl feel suffocated
and unsatisfied. Slowly, he feels himself sinking into despair,
feeling unmotivated until he hears of a career opportunity in
aviation. Excited, Carl begins training to fly airplanes
immediately, working long enough to earn the nickname of
“Hawk”. Since airplanes were a relatively new invention, flying
was highly experimental and dangerous. This hadn’t bothered Carl
when he first started, but now, as an older man, Carl begins to
worry when he hears the rising deaths in the field. Conflicted and
concerned, Carl decides to quit the job. As Carl continues on with
his life, he feels that he made the right choice but is still sad
to leave the profession. Now back in the same position he was in
years before, Carl tries to find a way to champion his
individuality and entrepreneurship while managing a new romance.
Featuring themes and topics of immigration, societal expectations,
entrepreneurship, love, maturity, and passion, The Trail of the
Hawk by Sinclair Lewis is introspective and relatable to a wide
audience, including modern readers. With comedy and heart, The
Trail of the Hawk is both care-free and serious, capturing
attention with its authenticity. This edition of The Trail of the
Hawk by Sinclair Lewis features a new, eye-catching cover design
and is printed in an easy-to-read font. With these accommodations,
this edition restores The Trail of the Hawk to modern standards
while preserving its original heart and mastery.
