Richard Gordon’s life was moving rapidly towards middle-aged lethargy – or so he felt. Employed as an assistant in general practice – the medical equivalent of a poor curate – and having been ‘persuaded’ that marriage is as much an obligation for a young doctor as celibacy for a priest, Richard sees the rest of his life stretching before him. Losing his nerve, and desperately in need of an antidote, he instead signs on with the Fathom Steamboat Company. What follows is a hilarious tale of nautical diseases and assorted misadventures at sea. Yet he also becomes embroiled in a mystery – what is in the Captain’s stomach remedy? And more to the point, what on earth happened to the previous doctor?

Divided they stand

ENGLISH, David

The time is World War II. The place is a brutal prison camp deep in Japanese-occupied territory. Here, within the seething mass of humanity, one man, an American corporal, seeks dominance over both captives and captors alike. His weapons are human courage, unblinking understanding of human weaknesses, and total willingness to exploit every opportunity to enlarge his power and corrupt or destroy anyone who stands in his path.

Europe

Married priests and married nuns? Only two years ago this idea was ignored, if not anathematized, by the great majority of Roman Catholics, clerical and lay, as it had been for hundreds of years. Today it is one of the critical issues of Catholic thought. Just as many lay people have left the Church because of its official stand on birth control, so increasing numbers of priests, seminarians and nuns have left their calling because of the rulings on celibacy.
