This 1938 edition of “The Citadel” by A.J. Cronin is a remarkable artifact from the golden age of British literature. Cronin’s seminal novel, inspired by his own experiences as a doctor in Wales, offers a scathing critique of the commercialization of medicine and the moral dilemmas faced by physicians. Published at the cusp of World War II, “The Citadel” resonated deeply with readers grappling with the societal upheavals of the time. Cronin’s vivid prose and unflinching portrayal of the medical profession’s ethical quandaries earned him critical acclaim and a lasting legacy as a champion of social realism. Despite its well-worn exterior, this copy retains the integrity of its interior, inviting collectors and readers alike to immerse themselves in a literary masterpiece that challenged the status quo and sparked important conversations about healthcare reform.
