Archibald Joseph Cronin was born in Scotland, graduated from the University of Glasgow, and worked as a doctor in South Wales and London. But his true calling became literature, to which he dedicated himself after the resounding success of his first novel 'The Citadel'. Among Cronin's other well-known books are 'The Stars Look Down', 'The Citadel', 'The Young Years', 'Shannon's Way', 'Keys of the Kingdom', 'The Crusaders', 'Three Loves'. The most brilliant novels belong to the bestsellers, which have sold in huge print runs worldwide, and more than 30 film adaptations have been made based on Cronin's works.

Duncan Stirling, the protagonist of the story 'Brilliant Years', is obsessed with his beloved work. Despite his crippled hand, he is determined to achieve worldwide fame in the field of medicine. Harvey Late ('Gran Canaria') also dreams of this. A gifted doctor and researcher, confident that his discovery will revolutionize science, he suffers a cruel failure and sets off to the Canary Islands to start from scratch... The short story 'The Local Doctor' tells a romantic and captivating story of the doctor Robert Murray and the nurse Mary, who arrive on a remote Caribbean island on the eve of ominous events...
