The Citadel (Paperback): A.J. Cronin The Citadel (Paperback)
A.J. Cronin; Foreword by Adam Kay 1
R308 R261 Discovery Miles 2 610 Save R47 (15%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A book which inspired the creation of the NHS, The Citadel is a moving story of tragedy, triumph and redemption. With a foreword by Adam Kay, the bestselling author of This is Going to Hurt.

When newly qualified doctor Andrew Manson takes up his first post in a Welsh mining community, the young Scot brings with him a bagful of idealism and enthusiasm. Both are soon strained to the limit as Andrew discovers the reality of performing operations on a kitchen table and washing in a scullery, of unspeakable sanitation, of common infantile cholera and systemic corruption. There are no X-rays, no ambulances – nothing to combat the disease and poverty.

It isn’t long before Andrew’s outspoken manner wins him both friends and enemies, but he risks losing his idealism when the fashionable, greedy world of London medicine claims him, with its private clinics, wealthy, spoilt patients and huge rewards.

A classic saga by A. J. Cronin, one of the great masters of the genre.

The Stars Look Down (Paperback): A.J. Cronin The Stars Look Down (Paperback)
A.J. Cronin
R646 R540 Discovery Miles 5 400 Save R106 (16%) Ships in 9 - 15 working days

"The Stars Look Down" was A.J. Cronin's fourth novel, published in 1935, and this tale of a North country mining family was a great favourite with his readers.
Robert Fenwick is a miner, and so are his three sons. His wife is proud that all her four men go down the mines. But David, the youngest, is determined that somehow he will educate himself and work to ameliorate the lives of his comrades who ruin their health to dig the nation's coal. It is, perhaps, a typical tale of the era in which it was written - there were many novels about coal mining, but Cronin, a doctor turned author, had a gift for storytelling, and in his time wrote several very popular and successful novels.
In the magnificent narrative tradition of "The Citadel," "Hatter's Castle" and Cronin's other novels, "The Stars Look Down" is deservedly remembered as a classic of its age.

A.J. Cronin
R326 Discovery Miles 3 260 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Vigil in the Night represents something of an event for fans of A. J. Cronin. Here, published for the first time in book form, is his poignant and moving tale of two nurses--of Anne, who devoted herself to serving others, and of her younger sister, Lucy, who meant to get everything in life for herself. When Lucy's negligence causes the tragic death of a young patient, Anne takes the blame to protect her young sister--an act that threatens to destroy the brilliant nursing career that lies before her. But then Anne meets an idealistic young surgeon who takes an interest in her, and although one of the oldest and most honored traditions of the medical profession is that the relationship between doctors and nurses remain strictly impersonal, doctors and nurses are, after all, human beings--and sometimes that tradition breaks down.
