Sobre IBD

Arrowsmith (1925) by Sinclair Lewis follows the life of Martin Arrowsmith, a young, idealistic doctor who struggles between his passion for pure scientific research and the pressures of medicine as a profession. From medical school through his career, Martin faces moral and professional dilemmas: whether to practice medicine for money, prestige, or to devote himself to honest research. His dedication to science often conflicts with personal relationships, especially with his wife Leora, who supports his ideals with quiet devotion.The novel explores themes of science versus commerce, integrity versus ambition, and the sacrifices demanded by true devotion to knowledge. Ultimately, Arrowsmith chooses the solitary path of scientific research over wealth, comfort, and recognition, underscoring Lewis’s critique of materialism and his admiration for the purity of scientific pursuit.
