From Scottish author A.J. Cronin comes a collection of some of his best-selling novels. The Citadel follows the life of Andrew Manson, a young and idealistic Scottish doctor, as he navigates the challenges of practicing medicine across interwar Wales and England. Based on Cronin’s own experiences as a physician, The Citadel boldly confronts traditional medical ethics, and has been noted as one of the inspirations for the formation of the National Health Service. The Stars Look Down tells the story of a North Country mining community as its inhabitants make their way through the various social and political challenges of the early 20th century. Digging into workers’ rights, social change, and the relationship between labor and capitalism, the struggles of the novel’s trifecta of protagonists—politically minded miner David Fenwick, ambitious drifter Joe Gowlan, and frustrated yet meek mining-baron’s son Arthur Barras—remain compelling and relevant to readers in the 21st century. The Keys of the Kingdom tells the story of a man with great courage and conviction, a man unafraid to stand up for what is right. Francis Chisholm—a kindhearted and straightforward Scottish priest—walks a path all his own, making him unpopular with other members of the clergy. Ostracized by the clerical community and looked down on by his superiors, Chisholm takes a position in China where he supervises a mission beset by poverty, civil war, and plague. He encounters fierce resistance from the local Chinese who distrust his motives, especially as they do not understand or condone his faith. Despite enormous obstacles and temptations, Father Chisholm continues to live in accordance with what he holds as the ultimate truth—serving humanity is the one true religion of the world.

Do not you kind of hate how we have entered the decadent phase of Goodreads when possibly fifty % (or more) of the reviews written by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now naked and unabashed inside their variously efficient efforts at being arch, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you type of pine (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's merry druthers) for the nice ol'times of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all evaluations were consistently plainspoke Do not you sort of loathe how we've joined the decadent period of Goodreads when possibly fifty percent (or more) of the evaluations published by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now nude and unabashed within their variously effective attempts at being posture, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Do not you type of maple (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's happy druthers) for the great ol'days of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all opinions were uniformly plainspoken, simply utilitarian, unpretentious, and -- especially else -- dull, dull, dull? Do not you type of hate when persons state'do not you think this way or feel like that'in an endeavor to goad you equally psychologically and grammatically into accepting with them? In the language of ABBA: I really do, I do, I do(, I really do, I do). Properly, since the interwebs is a world by which the past stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the current (and with fetish porn), we could review days gone by in its inviolable presentness any moment we wish. Or at the very least until this amazing site ultimately tanks. Contemplate (won't you?) Matt Nieberle's review of Macbeth in its entirety. I have bound it with a heavy string and dragged it here for your perusal. (Please realize that many a sic are intended in the following reviews.) its really complicated and ridiculous! why cant we be examining like Romeo and Juliet?!?! at the very least that guide is excellent! There you have it. Refreshingly, not really a evaluation published in one of many witch's comments or alluding to Hillary and Statement Clinton or discussing the reviewer's first period. Just a primal shout unleashed into the dark wilderness of the cosmos.Yes, Mr. Nieberle is (probably) a teenager, but I admire his capability to strongarm the temptation to be clever or ironic. (Don't you?) He speaks the native language of the idk generation with an economy and an understanding that renders his convictions much more emphatic. Here's MICHAEL's report on exactly the same play. You might'know'MICHAEL; he's the'Problems Architect'at Goodreads. (A problematic title itself in that it implies that he designs problems... which might be the case, for all I know.) This book shouldn't be required reading... reading plays that that you do not want to read is awful. Reading a play kinda sucks to begin with, if it had been meant to be read, then it will be a novel, not just a play. On top of that the teach had us students browse the play aloud (on person for each character for a couple pages). None folks had read the play before. None of us wanted to read it (I made the mistake of taking the'easy'english class for 6 years). The teacher picked students that looked like they weren't paying attention. All of this compounded to create me more or less hate reading classics for something such as 10 years (granted macbeth alone wasn't the problem). I also hate iambic pentameter. Pure activism there. STOP the mandatory reading of plays. It's wrong, morally and academically. And it also really can fuck up your GPA. There's no wasteful extravagance in this editorial... no fanfare, no fireworks, no linked photos of half-naked, oiled-up, big-bosomed starlets, no invented dialogues between mcdougal and the review-writer. It's simple and memorable. Being required to see plays is wrong, and in the event that you require anyone, under duress, to see a play then you definitely have sinned and are going to hell, in the event that you rely on hell. Or even, you're planning to the DMV. I'm also fed up with all you could smug spelling snobs. You damnable fascists along with your new-fangled dictionaries and your fancy-schmancy spell check. Sometimes the passionate immediacy of an email overcomes its spelling limitations. Also, in this age whenever we are taught to respect each other's differences, it appears offensively egocentric and mean-spirited to anticipate others tokowtow to your petty linguistic rules. Artsy appearance may totally free by itself regardless how you are trying to shackle it. That's your current sign, Aubrey. In my personal thoughts and opinions, the enjoy Macbeth has been this worste peice actually created by Shakespeare, and this also says quite a lot thinking about also i study the Romeo and Juliet. Ontop regarding it is by now astounding plan, unlikely character types in addition to absolutly discusting group of ethics, Shakespeare freely shows Lady Macbeth since the true vilian in the play. Looking at she actually is mearly a style around the spine round plus Macbeth herself is truely carrying out a gruesome criminal activity, including homicide and fraudulence, I would not understand why it's extremely easy to believe that Macbeth might be inclined to do great rather then bad if only his or her girlfriend had been much more possitive. I really believe until this play is uterally unrealistic. Yet the examples below is by far the ne plus really of classic publication reviewing. Whilst succinct along with with no drawing attention propensity to coyness or maybe cuteness, Jo's examine alludes to the bitterness hence serious that must be inexpressible. A person imagines a number of Signet Traditional Designs hacked to help parts with pruning shears within Jo's vicinity. I hate this particular play. It's this Could not perhaps offer you almost any analogies or similes with regards to how much We despise it. A good incrementally snarkier variety will often have stated one thing like...'I hate this enjoy like a simile I won't show up with.' Definitely not Jo. She echoes the live, undecorated real truth unfit intended for figurative language. Plus there is no problem along with that. After within a fantastic while, when you invest in neck-deep around dandified pomo hijinks, it is a nice wallow from the hog coop you might be itchin'for. Appreciate it, Jo. I love you and the in vain grasping from similes that will are unable to method this bilious hate in the heart. You're acquire, and I'm yours. Figuratively talking, involving course. And after this this is this review: Macbeth by way of William Shakespeare is the greatest literary perform in the British language, along with anybody who disagrees can be an asshole as well as a dumbhead.
