Book Description
Vigil in the Night represents something of an event for fans of A. J. Cronin. Here, published for the first time in book form, is his poignant and moving tale of two nurses"of Anne, who devoted herself to serving others, and of her younger sister, Lucy, who meant to get everything in life for herself. When Lucy's negligence causes the tragic death of a young patient, Anne takes the blame to protect her young sister"an act that threatens to destroy the brilliant nursing career that lies before her. But then Anne meets an idealistic young surgeon who takes an interest in her, and although one of the oldest and most honored traditions of the medical profession is that the relationship between doctors and nurses remain strictly impersonal, doctors and nurses are, after all, human beings"and sometimes that tradition breaks down.

Book Description
It was a dark and stormy night, the kind that sent shivers down your spine and made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. The patter of rain on the windows was like a drumbeat signaling something sinister lurking in the shadows. In the small town of Oakwood, nestled deep in the heart of the forest, the only sound that could be heard was the howling wind and the occasional crack of thunder. Jake, the night watchman of Oakwood, stood at the edge of town, his gaze fixed on the looming treeline. He was a tall, imposing man with a weathered face and a steely gaze that seemed to pierce through the darkness. But tonight, even his resolve was shaken. Something was different. The air felt thicker, charged with an energy that made his skin crawl. As he made his way down Main Street, the shadows seemed to dance and twist around him, whispering secrets that chilled him to the bone. The streetlamps flickered, their light faltering as if being smothered by an unseen force. Jake tightened his grip on his lantern, its flame wavering precariously. "Who's there?" he called out, his voice echoing in the empty street. Only silence answered him, a silence so profound it seemed to swallow his words. Then, a figure materialized from the mist. It was a woman, dressed in a long, flowing gown that billowed in the wind. Her hair was dark as midnight, and her eyes shone like twin stars in the darkness.
The Vigil of a Nation

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
For the second time Lin Yutang has gone deep into wartime China and has come out with much to tell. No foreign writer, and few Chinese, could have had such a chance to see past the smoke of war, through the clouds of gossip, and beneath the heaving surface of economic and political change. And Lin Yutang, as always, is unafraid of the truth. His sense of history, joined with his spirit of eager inquiry, led him to watch for the old China along with the new. Only China presents such a study in contrasts, rich alike with romance and with hope for the future. Sitting on the ruins of a Tang palace and telling us tales of ancient times, Lin Yutang looks down at an Industrial Co-operative group working in the gully below and dreams of the China that is to be. He describes a cotton mill, all underground, three miles of whirring machines in tunnels bored beneath the protecting hills; and further west, a vast irrigation system built two thousand years ago and still working perfectly.
