Sinclair Lewis, o primeiro norte-americano a receber o Prêmio Nobel de literatura, compõe um retrato singular da ambição humana na alvorada da medicina moderna, esbanjando uma mordaz veia satírica e um senso de humor de precisão cirúrgica. Na sua juventude no interior dos Estados Unidos, Martin Arrowsmith passava o tempo folheando um exemplar de Anatomia de Gray no consultório do velho médico beberrão de quem era assistente. Os diferentes caminhos à frente de Martin em sua jornada rumo à realização pessoal dão a tona deste romance escrito na alvorada da medicina moderna. O agora recém-formado Doutor Arrowsmith se vê às voltas com as perspectivas de se tornar um pacato médico de interior, suar a camisa em um hospital público de cidade grande, dedicar-se à pesquisa farmacêutica em um grande laboratório ou à busca altruísta pela cura de uma pandemia tropical, e a lista segue. Cada fracasso o ensina algo a evitar na tentativa seguinte. Cada direção o coloca diante de novos mentores, afetos e desafetos, numa colorida galeria de personagens engraçadíssimos.

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.
