Beschreibung
First published in 1925, Sinclair Lewis' "Arrowsmith" is the fascinating tale of a man torn between the pursuit of scientific knowledge and the demands of everyday domestic life. "Arrowsmith" was published to great critical acclaim, being awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1926, and has endured as the author's most popular novel. It is the story of Martin Arrowsmith, an intelligent and scientific young man who leaves his small Midwestern hometown to attend medical school and become a doctor. Along the way he lives his personal life haphazardly while he struggles to devote more of his time and attention to his scientific endeavors. The tension between his family and his life of rigorous and exacting scientific pursuit come to a dramatic head during an outbreak of bubonic plague on a tropical island. Martin must make difficult decisions between his principles, his research, and his ethical obligations. "Arrowsmith" is a well-researched and detailed description of medical training and practice, as well as an intense character study and thought-provoking examination of the tension that exists between everyday life and the rigorous pursuit of scientific inquiry. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Über den Autor
Sinclair Lewis was an American author and playwright who lived from February 7, 1885, until January 10, 1951. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1930, becoming the first American (and first writer from the Americas) to do so. The prize was given "for his forceful and graphic art of description and his ability to develop, with wit and humor, new sorts of characters." His books Elmer Gantry (1927), Main Street (1920), Babbitt (1922), Arrowsmith (1925), Dodsworth (1929), and It Can't Happen Here are among his best-known works (1935). His writings are renowned for their scathing critiques of American materialism and capitalism during the interwar years. He is known for his insightful portrayals of contemporary working women. If there was ever an author among us with a true call to the profession, it is this red-haired cyclone from the Minnesota wilds, according to H. L. Mencken. Romantic poems and brief sketches by Lewis, who later served as editor of the Yale Literary Magazine, were among his early works of art to be published. Lewis wandered about after graduating, working odd jobs and trying to make ends meet while penning fiction for magazines and killing time.
