It's about a young man who starts out being incredibly idealistic and wanting to improve things. He gradually gets worn down by the system and ends being one of these quacks. It's just very interesting, it's quite moving as well but it's very interesting learning about the system and the things that went on in those days.
Here's part 2 of this conversation with my Mum in which you can hear us wittering on about the bookshop where Mum works, some of the books she's read recently, and some of her podcast and film recommendations. Vocabulary is explained at the end, and there's a vocabulary list with definitions available.
