Harry Sinclair Lewis (1885 1951) was an American novelist, short story writer and playwright. In 1930, he became the first writer from the United States (and the first in fact from the Americas) to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was awarded "for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to create, with wit and humor, new types of characters." His works are known for their critical views of American capitalism and materialism between the wars. He is also respected for his strong characterizations of modern working women. Arrowsmith is a novel by American author Sinclair Lewis, first published in 1925. It won the 1926 Pulitzer Prize (which Lewis declined). Lewis was greatly assisted in its preparation by science writer Paul de Kruif, who received 25% of the royalties on sales, although Lewis was listed as the sole author. Arrowsmith is an early major novel dealing with the culture of science. It was written in the period after the reforms of medical education flowing from the Flexner Report on Medical Education in the United States and Canada: A Report to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, 1910, which had called on medical schools in the United States to adhere to mainstream science in their teaching and research.

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Excelente. 1ª Edición. Procede de expurgo de una biblioteca (tiene sellos, etc.); por lo demás, está en excelentes condiciones. «Artísticamente, Doctor Arrowsmith es un auténtico paso adelante. la novela está llena de pasajes inolvidables.» The New York Times Book Review Esta novela, considerada una de las obras maestras de la narrativa norteamericana del siglo XX, recibió en 1926 el premio Pulitzer. Como hijo y nieto de médicos, Sinclair Lewis tenía gran cantidad de conocimientos sobre el mundo de la medicina. El libro recorre la vida de Martin Arrowsmith, un tipo bastante común que entra en contacto con la medicina a los catorce años como asistente del médico en su ciudad natal. Lewis narra de manera brillante el mundo de la investigación, y de las compañías farmacéuticas, así como las modestas ambiciones de muchos hombres y mujeres que tienen una gran vocación. Describe magistralmente muchos aspectos del mundo de la medicina, desde la formación hasta las consideraciones éticas, y nos muestra, con un tono satírico, las envidias, presiones y negligencias que a veces van asociadas a ese mundo. Esta novela, considerada como el antecedente de las numerosas teleseries que tienen a la medicina y a los médicos como tema central, ha tenido numerosas adaptaciones radiofónicas (una de ellas con Orson Welles como protagonista) y cinematográficas, entre las que destaca la que realizó John Ford en 1931.…
