In ARROWSMITH, Martin Arrowsmith fulfills a lifelong dream of becoming a physician with a passion for research. Combatting the forces of ignorance and greed, he relentlessly pursues scientific truth, even in the face of his own personal tragedy. ARROWSMITH (1925) was Sinclair Lewis`s most praised novel and won him the Pulitzer Prize, which he refused. In ELMER GANTRY, Sinclair Lewis`s satire of fundamentalist religion, the hero is not unlike today`s corrupt and greedy TV evangelists. A charlatan and womanizer, Gantry begins as a Baptist, and rises to become the head of a Methodist church. Lewis`s novel, which scandalized the churchgoing public when it was published in 1927, reveals the hypocrisy he found in organized religion. DODSWORTH tells the tale of Sam Dodsworth, a prosperous car manufacturer, who retires and travels to Europe with his shallow, affected wife, Fran. Their marriage is in trouble, and Fran tires of Sam`s earnest American naiveti and takes up with an aristocrat much younger than she. When the man`s snobbish mother forbids her son`s marriage to such a woman, Fran begs Dodsworth to return to her. He, however, having seen her real nature and found a woman more appreciative of his good qualities, divorces Fran and lives permanently in Europe with his new wife.

Seductive, earthy, at times confessional, Sandra Cisneros's vibrant new collection of poetry celebrates the female aspects of love - from the reflective to the overtly erotic - in a voice recognizable from her powerful works of fiction. These poems offer narratives as formally elegant as they are emotional and accessible. They are bound together by the voice of one woman, whose language spans cultures and continents. She is a woman who finds great strength from her roots in the barrio, and who knows better than to take herself too seriously, even as she struggles with the anguish of making sense - and making love - in a world she feels compelled to write about. With a multiplicity of moods tumbling through its lines - joyous and introspective, tender and ruthless, self-mocking and sincere, often funny and sometimes wild and rude - Loose Woman offers intoxicating poems of extraordinary insight and vivid imagination.
