A. Cronin "CITADEL". Novel. Audiobook. Part One. Chapter 7.
"The Citadel" is perhaps Cronin's most famous book, a remarkable, topical parable about a person's journey from formation and development to the decay and decline of personality 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 desires to be one of those who can truly bring glory to medicine. It all starts small, but Andrew doesn't back down from difficulties: in a remote town, a young man is listed as a doctor's assistant, but in reality, he is a 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, amidst these ups and downs, it suddenly becomes difficult to find one's true self. The successful doctor now much less often asks big questions about how to change the medical system.
