Martin Arrowsmith, brilliant but licentious, makes his way from his small Midwest town to New York City. Getting his start at medical school, Martin sets out on a series of affairs, bouncing from woman to woman and job to job, hungry to satisfy his desires as both a man and a man of science. Just as it appears he'll be able to settle down, he finds himself back among the scientific elite and faced with a discovery that can change his life.
Written in conjunction with science writer Paul de Kruif, Arrowsmith is one of the first books to address the culture of science in a period of medical education reform. A critical and commercial success, the book earned Sinclair Lewis the 1926 Pulitzer Prize, which the author would go on to decline.
Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this edition of Arrowsmith is a classic of science literary fiction, reimagined for modern readers.

Exceedingly bright and just a tad bit salacious, Martin Arrowsmith is a man on two missions. The first, make a name for himself at medical school in order to become recognized in the broader scientific community. The second? Pursue every woman who will give him the opportunity to do so. Arrowsmith is an award-winning novel by Sinclair Lewis.
