The novel dilogy of the Scottish writer Archibald Cronin "The Young Years" (1944) and "Shannon's Way" (1948) is largely autobiographical. The early death of his parents forces six-year-old Robert Shannon to seek shelter in the home of relatives, who begin to vie with each other for influence over the boy. Difficulties of growing up, conflicts with peers, the first friendship and the first betrayal, poverty, belonging to a Catholic religious minority and, as a consequence, the slanted views of others - all this will have to experience Robert in his childhood and adolescence. However, determined and persistent, he finds the strength to remain true to his hobbies and ambitious dreams, to break out of the cramped for him provincial world, to realize his scientific vocation and make the first steps in the profession. In the second novel of the dilogy, Robert - a young ambitious infectious disease doctor, recently returned from the war, working in a research institute and standing on the threshold of a milestone discovery in the field of bacteriology - faces the envy of colleagues and bureaucratic intrigue, and, unable to compromise, loses his place and is forced to become a practicing doctor, while continuing his research. He also has to be tested by his love for the beautiful and intelligent Jean Lowe, whose prosperous and secure future, painted ahead of her parents, after meeting Robert can no longer be the same....
