Still a masterpieceBy EDWARD J STODDARDAn outstanding book, based on A J Cronin's experiences as a medical doctor(world one) and as an author(world two). Each chapter is more or less self contained and is a cameo of his life. The book is marred by sloppy editing which would not have occurred in the printed copy- mainly spelling errors that a spell check would have detected0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fresh and surprisingBy A. T. RamsayThis autobiographical novel, set in the 30's and 40's, is honest and racing. Scottish life and people come alive. Well written. Adventures in Two Worlds - an autobiographical novel by A J Cronin, creator of television's Dr Finlay and author of The Citadel and many other bestsellers.A master storyteller, A J Cronin presents possibly his most fascinating tale. Taking material directly from his own life, he tells of the early struggles of a poor medical student in Scotland, the cruel crushing of all hopes of becoming a surgeon, the years as a ship's doctor and, later, life in the country practice that was the real Tannochbrae.There are many strange twists and turns - not the least of them the dramatic move from the world of medicine into that of literature when a novel 'written despairingly on twopenny exercise books, thrown out and rescued from the rubbish heap' was accepted by a publisher. And with Hatter's Castle a new career was born. About the AuthorBorn in Cardross, Scotland, A J Cronin studied at the University of Glasgow. In 1916 he served as a surgeon sub-lieutenant in the Royal Navy Volunteers Reserve, and at the war's end he completed his medical studies and practiced in South Wales. He was later appointed to the Ministry of Mines, studying the medical problems of the mining industry. He later moved to London and built up a successful practice in the West End. In 1931 he published his first book, Hatter's Castle, which was compared with the work of Dickens, Hardy and Balzac, winning him critical acclaim. Other books by AJ Cronin include: The Citadel, Three Loves, The Green Years, Beyond This Place, The Keys of the Kingdom.

Facultad de Ciencias Médicas. 2Consejo de Investigaciones de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario (Argentina). Correspondence: Alberto Enrique D’Ottavio Cattani, Matheu 371. 2000 Rosario, Santa Fe (Argentina). e-mail: [email protected] Received 1 October 2008; modified 18 March 2009; accepted 19 March 2009 Summary This paper broaches the subject of the life and numerous cinematographic and TV adaptations of the vast and controversial liter- ary work of Scottish doctor Archibald Joseph Cronin (1896-1981). Through it, we intend to stress the influence his books and/or the films based on them had on many young generations who, under their shelter, chose a career in medicine. Prize-winning writer and PhD, in his works -formally adorned with his great talent for description and observation- he intermingles naturalism, conflicting passions, medical situations and social criticism. Beyond all discussion about his literary career and his repercussion on film, his influence on those who embraced Medicine following in the steps of his characters, many of whom were nothing more than a reflection of himself, is unquestionable.

The order willingly plunged itself into protracted battles amidst horrific conditions, laying siege to sorcerous cults on Death Worlds and storming xenos planets that were inimical to Human existence. The book is a little sexist, though I suspect it was probably more on the progressive side for its time. What became of those Heretics is not known outside the order. Jaye rated it liked it Mar 03, They then launch offensives to cut off their foe's supply routes and lines of retreat. Cronin was one of the most popular and successful novelists of the twentieth century. The stigmata of torn flesh is seen as a badge of honour amongst the order, for it is a reminder of the sufferings of Lucia.

More Details She was the level-headed counterpoint to Katherine's burning passion. Readers also enjoyed. Their practices stem from the teachings of their founder and Matriarch, Lucia, who amongst Dominica's companions was said to be a paragon of constancy. They press the attack with one measured advance after another, inexorably driving their way into hostile territory and paving a path before them with the corpses of their foes. Excellent book. Product Description The Valorous Years is the poignant and moving story of a young man, Duncan Stirling, who, though his left arm is crippled by polio, is determined to become a world-famous physician.

  • Athens, December 25Th 1809-March 5Th 1810
    117 Athens, December 25th 1809-March 5th 1810 Athens December 25th 1809–March 5th 1810 Edited from B.L. Add. Mss. 56527 and 56529. Athens was not a metropolitan centre in 1810; it was technically the fiefdom one of the Black Eunuchs at Constantinople, and neither Turks nor native Greeks valued it as romantic philhellenes did. It seems to have lacked any intelligentsia, other than the Frankish contingent (Lusieri, Fauvel, Galt), and neither Byron nor Hobhouse seems to have made much of a social life there, as they did in Milan, Venice, Paris, and elsewhere. Once, Hobhouse is reduced to spending three hours chatting with Fletcher! Hobhouse, seems to get on better with the Turks than with the Greeks – until, that is, his character-forming solo expedition to Œgrippo (modern Khalkis) on February 8th-9th, where his perception of the indifferent rapacity lurking beneath even the most grave of Mussulman fronts – plus the amount of money he’s forced to disburse to his hosts – seems to turn him against the conquerors for good. His subsequent reflections on the revolutionary potential of the Dervene militia (February 10th) constitute his first steps on the path which leads to the foundation of the London Greek Committee over ten years later. Perhaps in consequence of Athens’ social barrenness, the diary for these two-and-a-bit months consists mainly of descriptions of expeditions outside the city, and there Hobhouse often skirts bathos by his tourist-guide obsession with distances, compass-points, and directions. But there are highlights. The account of the near-fatal visit to the spa cave on January 21st is only slightly marred by our uncertainty as to whether or not Byron shared it.
