Why did they say "a kindness", "a cruelty", as if they're countable nouns?

They can be countable. The man was done a single act of kindness, or a single act of cruelty.

The passage is correct but I wouldn't suggest using them as countable nouns in general speach/writing. It sounds either archaic or overly poetic.

What book is this? Just curious.

They are countable, but they are almost exclusively used in the singular.

It's short for "an act of kindness".
