Arrowsmith (1925) by Sinclair Lewis is an engaging and sharply satirical novel that follows the ambitious Martin Arrowsmith as he navigates the turbulent world of American medicine, torn between the pursuit of pure scientific truth and the temptations of fame, profit, and professional recognition. From small-town doctor to research scientist, Martin’s journey is marked by ethical dilemmas, personal loss, and a defining crisis during a plague outbreak, where he must choose between rigorous experimentation and immediate humanitarian action. The novel was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1926 (which Lewis declined) and became a bestseller, further cementing his reputation as one of America’s leading literary critics of modern society.
