"The Citadel" is perhaps Cronin's most famous book, a wonderful, topical novel-parable about the life of a person from his formation and development to the decay and decline of personality under the yoke of harsh reality.
Andrew Manson comes to his first practice with a noble goal: to help as many people as possible. He sincerely wants to become one of those who can truly glorify medicine. Everything starts small, but Andrew does not retreat in the face of difficulties: in a remote town, a young man is listed as a doctor's assistant, but in fact, he is a doctor himself. Such is life and Andrew accepts the challenge!
Little by little, changing one hospital after another, Andrew makes a dizzying career. However, after the ups and downs, at one point it becomes difficult to find yourself. The successful doctor now asks global questions about how to change the medical system much less often.
