书籍简介

后记由 E. L. Doctorow 撰写——这部小说是一部普利策奖获奖作品，讲述了一个人在无知和腐败面前追求思想自由的故事，作者是《巴比特》

《艾罗史密斯》是辛克莱·刘易斯广为阅读的小说，它深刻地刻画了一个对科学充满热情的人。马丁·阿罗史密斯是中西部小镇上一个聪明、好奇的男孩，闲暇时他总是在老维克森医生的办公室里如饥似渴地阅读医学文献。他注定要成为一名医生和研究员，但他发现，无知、贪婪和腐败的社会力量可能像瘟疫一样危及生命。

刘易斯的这部普利策奖获奖小说既是讽刺，也是道德故事，它揭示了科学的神秘和力量，同时也为一位美国英雄在一个狭隘的世界里为正直和思想自由而奋斗的故事赋予了永恒的生命。

由 Sally E. Parry 作序

，E. L. Doctorow 作后记

With an afterword by E. L. Doctorow—the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of one man’s pursuit of intellectual freedom in the face of ignorance and corruption, from the author of Babbit

Arrowsmith, the most widely read of Sinclair Lewis’s novels, is the incisive portrait of a man passionately devoted to science. As a bright, curious boy in a small Midwestern town, Martin Arrowsmith spends his free time in old Doc Vickerson’s office avidly devouring medical texts. Destined to become a physician and a researcher, he discovers that societal forces of ignorance, greed, and corruption can be as life-threatening as the plague. 

Part satire, part morality tale, Lewis’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel illuminates the mystery and power of science while giving enduring life to a singular American hero’s struggle for integrity and intellectual freedom in a small-minded world.

With an Introduction by Sally E. Parry 

and an Afterword by E. L. Doctorow

Harry Sinclair Lewis (1885–1951) was born in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, the son of a country doctor. After graduating from Yale in 1907, he went to New York, tried freelance work for a time, and then worked in a variety of editorial positions from the East Coast to California. Main Street (1920) was his first successful novel. In the decade that followed, Lewis published four other acclaimed novels of social criticism—Babbitt (1922), Arrowsmith (1925), Elmer Gantry (1927), and Dodsworth (1929). In 1930 he became the first American to win the Nobel Prize for literature. He continued to write both novels and plays for another two decades, publishing his last work, World So Wide (1951), shortly before his death in Rome.
