{"description": {"type": "/type/text", "value": "This is yet another semi-autobiographical work  about a medical man who achieves success and worldy wealth  in a non-medical field but remains unsatisfied with his life.  It is   a rather bitter book , with the protagonist  being very self-centred , and it makes reference , as do a number of Cronin's works , to a fixation with suicide. Nonetheless, it is a good and interesting read"}, "title": "The Judas tree", "covers": [6520831], "subject_places": ["Scotland", "Vienna", "Congo", "and Switzerland"], "subjects": ["Love stories", "Selfishness", "Physicians", "Scots", "NOVELAS INGLESAS", "Fiction", "Man-woman relationships", "Scottish fiction"], "key": "/works/OL4189800W", "authors": [{"type": {"key": "/type/author_role"}, "author": {"key": "/authors/OL795451A"}}], "subject_times": ["Late 1950s"], "type": {"key": "/type/work"}, "latest_revision": 10, "revision": 10, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-12-10T05:36:04.356852"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2025-05-04T20:00:08.771662"}}
