“The Citadel” is perhaps Cronin’s most famous book, a remarkable and topical parable novel about a man’s life journey, from his formation and development to his decay and personal decline under the weight of harsh reality.
Andrew Manson arrives at his first internship with a noble goal: to help as many people as possible. He sincerely wants to become one of those who can truly bring glory to medicine. It all starts small, but Andrew does not back down in the face of hardship: in a backwater town, the young man is officially a doctor’s assistant, but in reality, he is the doctor himself. Such is life, and Andrew accepts the challenge!
Little by little, moving from one hospital to another, Andrew makes a dizzying career. However, amid these rapid ascents, it soon becomes difficult to find himself. The successful doctor now much less frequently asks the big questions about how to change the medical system.
