A. J. Cronin (1896–1981)
Autore di La cittadella
Sull'Autore
A.J. (Archibald Joseph) Cronin was born in Cardross, Scotland on July 19, 1896. He was educated at the University of Glasgow Medical School and served as a surgeon in the Royal Navy during World War I. After the war, he investigated occupational diseases in the coal industry and worked as a general mostra altro practitioner in Wales and London. His first novel, Hatter's Castle, written in 1931, was an immediate success, and Cronin gave up the practice of medicine to become a full-time author. Hatter's Castle was adapted into a film in 1941. His other works include Shannon's Way, The Judas Tree, A Song of Sixpence, and A Thing of Beauty. He drew on his medical background in writing his books, and his most popular character was Doctor Finlay, which provided the background for the television series, Doctor Finlay's Casebook. Many of his books were made into films including The Stars Look Down, The Citadel, The Keys of the Kingdom, and The Green Years. He died on January 6, 1981. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra meno

La rilettura ti permette di comprendere meglio determinati passaggi,di scoprire punti non compresi nella prima lettura, di approfodnire: tutto vero. Ma quello che ti da una prima lettura, in un determinato momento, non te lo toglie nessuno. Quello che si "sente" leggendo un libro per la prima volta, magari di un autore mai letto, non te lo toglie nessuno: nel bene e nel male.
Un bel libro in un momento brutto sarà un libro discreto. E un brutto libro in un bellissimo mento sarà un libro sufficiente. Capisco che questo assunto non porti ad una critica libraria seria, ma purtroppo non riesco a staccarmi dalla quotidianità.… (altro)
