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.
