La cittadella (1938)
Andrew Manson, giovane scozzese appena laureato, diventa medico condotto presso il villaggio di Blaenely, in Galles, iniziando come apprendista del dottor Page. Innamorato della maestra del villaggio, una giovane che condivide i suoi ideali, forte e serena, si sposa. Pieno di nobili intenti scientifici e umanitaristici, il suo spirito si corrompe poco a poco quando più tardi si trasferisce a Londra e, grazie al casuale incontro con un compagno di università, il dottor Frederick Lawford, comincia a trattare ricchi pazienti ipocondriaci. La moglie Christine tenterà di riportarlo indietro sul suo antico percorso etico e morale. Manson aprirà finalmente gli occhi quando il suo migliore amico, il dottor Philip Denny, morirà per mano di un chirurgo incompetente e arrivista.
