Description
Arrowsmith is the story of an idealistic young doctor embarking on hiscareer, who finds himself torn between a pure devotion to scientific truth and the lure ofsocial and commercial success. In the words of the Signet Edition jacket description:“Part satire, part morality tale, Lewis’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel illuminates themystery and power of science while giving enduring life to a singular American hero’sstruggle for integrity and intellectual freedom in a small-minded world.”

Why Lisa loves this book
Sinclair Lewis is known as a brilliant and incisive satirist, and here hetakes to task all the forces of commercialism and compromise that jeopardize thepursuit of truth. But in this novel, unlike so many of his others, Lewis also offers ussomething of a hero in Martin Arrowsmith. We join Martin on an arduous journey ofmoral trial and self-discovery that has a lot to teach us about ourselves. Along the way,we have the pleasure of meeting the lovable Leora, whom publisher Alfred Harcourtcalled “just about the best woman character in American fiction.” This novel is astutelyobservant, scathingly funny, deeply thought-provoking, and well-worth adding to yourliterary repertoire.
