Review
As the son and grandson of physicians, Sinclair Lewis had a store of experiences and imparted knowledge to draw upon for Arrowsmith.Published in 1925, after three years of anticipation, the book follows the life of Martin Arrowsmith, a rather ordinary fellow who gets his first taste of medicine at 14 as an assistant to the drunken physician in his home town. It is Leora Tozer who makes Martin's life extraordinary. With vitality and love, she urges him beyond the confines of the mundane to risk answering his true calling as a scientist and researcher. Not even her tragic death can extinguish her spirit or her impact on Martin's life.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. An HBJ Modern Classic. Remainder mark on bottom edge, otherwise without flaw. 5.5 X 8" 486 pages. Sinclair Lewis (1885 - 1951) has been called "the Dickens of America". Originally published in 1925, Arrowsmith remains a novel of striking relevance to our times. At its heart is an age-old dilemma : should a doctor withhold experimental treatment from a patient and continue research, thus assuring the patient's death, or should a risky, untested procedure be carried out ?
