About this ebook
A powerful novel that asks more questions than it answers. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
Sinclair Lewis
Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) was an American author and playwright. As a child, Lewis struggled to fit in with both his peers and family. He was much more sensitive and introspective than his brothers, so he had a difficult time connecting to his father. Lewis’ troubling childhood was one of the reasons he was drawn to religion, though he would struggle with it throughout most of his young adult life, until he became an atheist. Known for his critical views of American capitalism and materialism, Lewis was often praised for his authenticity as a writer. With over twenty novels, four plays, and around seventy short stories, Lewis was a very prolific author. In 1930, Sinclair Lewis became the first American to receive the Nobel Prize for literature, setting an inspiring precedent for future American writers.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The fictional life and growth of a doctor. A lot of the details still apply, and I know many doctors with similar anecdotes. A fine portrait of medical live in service to others.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An innovative doctor reaps the rewards of a discovery, but suffers along the way and returns to the life he actually had all along. A wonderful read. One of my favorite authors.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Classic novel by one of the great American authors of the 20th Century.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Sinclair Lewis evokes full-blown cynicsim at all aspects of society - health care, marriage, business, military.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book reminded me of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead insofar as Martin Arrowsmith is an idealist and individualist. Despite having been written over 80 years ago, its themes still run true today. A great novel.
