Arrowsmith

By Sinclair Lewis

From Amazon

Martin Arrowsmith’s youthful curiosity for science has blossomed into an altruistic devotion to medicine and research. The doctor moves from small towns to big cities and from local offices to prestigious institutes. With every step upward that Arrowsmith takes in his career, his idealism is challenged by the greed, corruption, and commercialism of the scientific community, as well as by the temptations of women, money, power, and glory. Against the odds, and through loss and groundbreaking discovery, Dr. Arrowsmith must stay true.


One of the most widely read novels of its era, Sinclair Lewis’s Arrowsmith explores one man’s quest for integrity and salvation in a world determined to exploit his every passion.


Revised edition: Previously published as Arrowsmith, this edition of Arrowsmith (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
