Some data about the author. Sinclair Lewis (1885—1951) is a well-known American novelist and playwright. He left twenty-one novels. All his novels arc of great cognitive significance and may be called the guide-books of America.

Among his best novels are "Main street" (1920), "Babbitt" (1924), "Arrow smith" (1925), "Ann Vickers" (1933); "Kings blood Boyal"
(1947), "The God Seeker" (1949). His best books are shot through with flashes of satire directed against many aspects of American life-middle class conventions, its smug hypocrisy, religion and many others. "Arrow smith" is his seventh novel in which he describes the experiences of a physician who would like to be honest in the society he lives in. The novel is written in such a way that each period of Arrow smith’s life gives the author a splendid opportunity to reveal many aspects of American reality.
