Description
Archibald Joseph Cronin (1896–1981) was born in Scotland, graduated from the University of Glasgow, and worked as a doctor in South Wales and London. But his true calling was literature, to which he devoted himself after the overwhelming success of his first novel “Brody’s Castle.”
Among other books by A. Cronin, the most famous are “The Stars Look Down,” “The Citadel,” “The Young Years,” “The Road to Shannon,” “The Keys of the Kingdom,” “Monument to the Crusader,” and “Three Loves.”
The brightest novels belong to the ranks of bestsellers that sold in enormous numbers around the world; more than 30 film adaptations were made based on Cronin’s works. But it’s hard to say that by leaving medical practice, Archibald Cronin forever said goodbye to medicine. This profession — the problems and challenges of the time connected to it — always stirred the writer’s creative imagination, so the main characters of his books were often talented, driven doctors — people to whom the author could convey his ideas, views, and searches.
Harvey Leith is a gifted doctor and researcher who is confident that his discovery will overturn science. He suffers a brutal failure and goes to the Canary Islands to start all over again from scratch…
