Arrowsmith (1926) is among Sinclair Lewis's early novels. Even so, it is usually considered one of his major works, because it was the first "scientific" novel. Inspired to write it by major reforms in the field of medical education at the time, Lewis explored the culture of science by telling the story of Martin Arrowsmith, a brilliant doctor and scientist who wants to conquer the plague virus. To ensure its authenticity, Lewis sought out the help of a science writer, and the book was so highly regarded that it was awarded a Pulitzer Prize (which Lewis declined).

About the Author

SINCLAIR LEWIS (1885-1951) was one of the preeminent American authors of the twentieth century. His novel Arrowsmith won the Pulitzer Prize in 1926, and in 1929, he became the first American author to win a Nobel Prize in world literature. In novels such as Arrowsmith, Babbit, and Elmer Gantry, Lewis expressed his deep respect for egalitarian, democratic values while creating characters made memorable by the affectionate humor Lewis used to create their portraits.
