Sinclair Lewis – Arrowsmith (The Franklin Library, 1975) - Pulitzer Prize 1926

A finely bound limited edition of Arrowsmith by Sinclair Lewis, published by The Franklin Library exclusively for subscribers. This elegant edition honors one of the great American novels of the 20th century — a work that earned Lewis the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1926 (though he famously declined it), and contributed to his later Nobel Prize in Literature in 1930.

Content
Arrowsmith tells the story of Martin Arrowsmith, an idealistic young doctor whose devotion to science leads him into conflict with the commercialism and compromise of modern medicine. Through his journey from small-town practitioner to groundbreaking researcher, Sinclair Lewis exposes the moral dilemmas of ambition, integrity, and progress.

Written in collaboration with science writer Paul de Kruif, the novel blends realism and satire in Lewis’s signature style — an unflinching portrayal of the social institutions shaping American life.
