Martin Arrowsmith’s journey from idealistic medical student to disillusioned researcher is a gripping tale of scientific integrity in a world of compromise. Lewis’s sharp wit exposes the flaws in American healthcare and academia, while Martin’s struggles feel deeply personal. I found myself rooting for him, even as he stumbled. The vivid characters and ethical dilemmas stayed with me long after I finished reading. A thought-provoking classic that still resonates today.
Some day the world is going to be better, and then we'll all be able to live in the truth.
