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.

Very good reading, though some characters are caricatured, which is probably intended. This story was written long ago, so parts of it including style are certainly dated. That said, it’s very interesting to see that some “modern” problems have been with us longer than we might think! As a microbiologist working on bacteriophages in medical research, I found the exploration of the science at the time of the story to be very interesting; I think the author did a lot of research to understand and convey what that world was like at that time. I find that aspect of the story fascinating. The perspective of the main character on ethics is also dated and thus interesting; navigating the ethics of research today (particularly after WWII) is very different and much more complex!

Well done reading of a classic
