Babbitt

Autor: Sinclair Lewis

Número de Páginas: 486

La novela que creó un nuevo arquetipo en la literatura estadounidense y le valió a su autor el Premio Nobel de Literatura. En esta novela imprescindible de la narrativa estadounidense del siglo xx, Sinclair Lewis nos presenta a George F. Babbit, un agente inmobiliario bullicioso, arrogante y siempre preocupado por su reputación. Babbit es el epítome del conformista, un personaje que piensa y siente lo mismo que la multitud. Mayormente con esa actitud lo vemos participar en reuniones, actos sociales y viajes de negocios que capturan toda la agitación de la cultura comercial de su país. Sin embargo, Lewis estudia también las grietas de su personalidad, y el retrato de sus dudas acaba mostrando la cara oculta de un periodo de la historia de Estados Unidos en que el mito de la prosperidad ilimitada estaba por dar paso a la era de la ansiedad. La crítica ha dicho: «No conozco una novela estadounidense que represente de manera tan precisa la Norteamérica real». H.L. Mencken

Arrowsmith

Autor: Sinclair Lewis

Número de Páginas: 464

This satirical novel by the Nobel Prize–winning author of It Can’t Happen Here examines medicine in the modern world through the eyes of an idealistic man. The assistant of a small-town midwestern doctor, young Martin Arrowsmith is fascinated with the contents of Gray’s Anatomy. Eager to pursue an adventurous career in medicine and science, he eventually sets off for medical school, where he hopes to dedicate himself to research. But as Martin progresses through life, he encounters qualities in humans more troublesome than any of the specimens he examines under a microscope. Happiness almost eludes him until his mentor offers him a post at a prestigious institute—which soon sends Martin to a plague ravaged Caribbean island. There he must show what he is truly made of . . . A perennial favorite of medical students to this day, Arrowsmith won author Sinclair Lewis the Pulitzer Prize in 1926, which he declined. “Beyond doubt the best of Mr. Lewis’s novels . . . Absorbing and illuminating.” —The Spectator

Arrowsmith is a novel by American author Sinclair Lewis, which won him the Pulitzer Prize ...which Lewis declined. Arrowsmith is an early major novel dealing with the culture of science. It was written in the period after the reforms of medical education flowing from the Flexner Report on Medical Education in the United States and Canada: A Report to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, 1910, which had called on medical schools in the United States to adhere to mainstream science in their teaching and research. The actual story deals with trials and tribulations of Martin Arrowsmith, a brilliant doctor and scientist who wants to conquer the plague virus from spreading. But the price comes at a very heavy cost. A must read!

Arrowsmith

Autor: Sinclair Lewis

Número de Páginas: 620

Martin Arrowsmith, the titular protagonist, grows up in a small Midwestern town where he wants to become a doctor. At medical school he meets an abrasive but brilliant professor, Gottlieb, who becomes his mentor. As Arrowsmith completes his training he begins a career practicing medicine. But, echoing Lewis’s Main Street, small-town life becomes too insular and restricting; his interest in research and not people makes him unpopular, and he decides to work in a research laboratory instead. From there Arrowsmith begins a career that hits all of the ethical quandaries that scientists and those in the medical profession encounter: everything from the ethical problem of research protocol strictness versus saving lives, to doing research for the betterment of mankind versus for turning a profit, to the politics of institutions, to the social problems of wealth and poverty. Arrowsmith struggles with these dilemmas because, like all of us, he isn’t perfect. Despite his interest in helping humanity, he has little interest in people—aside from his serial womanizing—and this makes the path of his career an even harder one to walk. He’s surrounded on all sides by icons of nobility, ...

It is not certain that, in attaching himself to Doc Vickerson, Martin was entirely and edifyingly controlled by a desire to become a Great Healer. He did awe his Gang by bandaging stone-bruises, dissecting squirrels, and explaining the astounding and secret matters to be discovered at the back of the physiology, but he was not completely free from an ambition to command such glory among them as was enjoyed by the son of the Episcopalian minister, who could smoke an entire cigar without becoming sick. Yet this afternoon he read steadily at the section on the lymphatic system, and he muttered the long and perfectly incomprehensible words in a hum which made drowsier the dusty room...FROM THE BOOK.

Calle Mayor

Autor: Sinclair Lewis

Número de Páginas: 452

En esta magnífica novela se narran las desventuras de una joven rebelde casada con el médico de una pequeña ciudad norteamericana en los comienzos de 1900. La Calle Mayor de este pequeño pueblo americano es el centro de la civilización, el lugar donde todo se juzga, se decide y se piensa..., y la protagonista verá cómo todos sus deseos de transformar la realidad se apaciguan al tiempo que sus ideales de belleza, justicia y libertad se ven obligados a relajarse para terminar adoptando una postura de conformismo vital que atenta contra su verdadero espíritu rebelde. Se trata de la obra más emblemática y de mayor alcance de Sinclair Lewis, el primer escritor norteamericano que consiguió el Premio Nobel de Literatura (1930). Es una novela imprescindible para comprender el presente: es un estudio antropólogico novelado sobre el proceso que dotó a la sociedad norteamericana de las señas de identidad que la caracterizan. La calidad literaria de Calle Mayor es muy poco habitual. Posee un estilo sencillo y transparente, y eleva a la categoría de épica la lucha particular de la protagonista contra el resto de la ciudad. La novela se lee con suma facilidad y posee un...

Cuando el gran dragón Morkeleb se apodera de la capital de Bel, aterrorizando a las Tierras del Sur, solo el joven Gareth, enviado por el rey, se atreve a viajar al inhóspito norte en busca del único hombre que puede acabar con él, John Aversin, Vencedor de Dragones: la única persona viva que ha logrado enfrentarse a un dragón y sobrevivir para contarlo. Sin embargo, ha pasado mucho tiempo desde entonces, la realidad no tiene por qué ser igual a lo que narran las baladas y Aversin no es el joven héroe que Gareth esperaba. Aun así, es la única esperanza que tienen. A cambio de la promesa del rey de enviar ayuda a las Tierras de Invierno, acosada por bandidos, Aversin acepta intentar de nuevo la hazaña, acompañado por Jenny, su compañera, una hechicera a medio enseñar. Pero cuando llegan a la corte, nada es como esperaban. Porque Gareth no es un mero noble, el rey está esclavizado por un poder profundamente malvado que busca el...

Sinclair Lewis Remembered

Autor: Gary Scharnhorst , Matthew Hofer

Número de Páginas: 418

Sinclair Lewis Remembered is a collection of reminiscences and memoirs by contemporaries, friends, and associates of Lewis that offers a revealing and intimate portrait of this complex and significant Nobel Prize–winning American writer. After a troubled career as a student at Yale, Sinclair Lewis turned to literature as his livelihood, publishing numerous works of popular fiction that went unnoticed by critics. With the 1920s, however, came Main Street, Lewis’s first critical success, which was soon followed by Babbitt, Arrowsmith, Elmer Gantry, and Dodsworth—five of the most influential social novels in the history of American letters, all written within one decade. Nevertheless, Lewis’s Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930 led to controversy. Writers such as Theodore Dreiser, William Faulkner, and Thomas Mann expressed their dissent with the decision. Unable to match his previous success, Lewis suffered from alcoholism, alienated colleagues, and embraced unpopular political positions. The nadir for Lewis’s literary reputation was Mark Schorer’s 1961 biography, Sinclair Lewis: An American Life, which helped to legitimize the dismissal of Lewis’s entire body of work....

Myrna Loy

Autor: Emily W. Leider

Número de Páginas: 448

From the beginning, Myrna Loy's screen image conjured mystery, a sense of something withheld. This first ever biography of the wry and sophisticated actress, best known for her role as Nora Charles in The Thin Man, offers an unprecedented picture of her life and a career that spanned six decades. Opening with Loy's rough-and-tumble upbringing in Montana, the book takes us to Los Angeles from the 1920s, through the thirties, when Loy became a top box office draw, and to her robust post-World War II career. Throughout, Emily W. Leider illuminates the actress's friendships with luminaries such as Cary Grant, Clark Gable, and Joan Crawford and her collaborations with the likes of John Barrymore, David O. Selznick, Sam Goldwyn, and William Wyler, among many others. This biography offers a fascinating slice of studio era history and gives us the first full picture of a woman who has often been overlooked.--From publisher description.

Autor: Samuel Shem

Número de Páginas: 466

Combinando su experiencia como médico y su enorme talento para la más negra comedia del absurdo, Samuel Shem ha escrito un libro catártico, la crónica de la entrada en la vida de quienes de algún modo han elegido trabajar con la muerte. Roy Basch, el narrador y protagonista, y sus compañeros; Chuck, un negro que siempre lleva en su maletín una petaca de whisky; Runt, judío y muy psicoanalizado, y Potts, un emigrado del sur son brillantes licenciados de las mejores facultades de medicina, que han conseguido ser aceptados para hacer su año de prácticas en uno de los más prestigiosos hospitales, la Casa de Dios. Y en este año, que muy pronto se parecerá a la versión de una obra del marqués de Sade por los hermanos Marx, se multiplican los episodios de aprendizaje de la medicina pero también del horror, la impostura, el cientificismo más cruel e ineficaz y, sobre todo, de lo ineludible de la enfermedad y la muerte. Tienen un gran maestro, el cínico y sabio Gordo, de quien aprenderán que cuanto menos intervengan, menos dañarán al paciente, y que los «gomer» ancianos dementes, seniles e indestructibles, confinados en el hospital por sus parientes, nunca mueren, a...
