“Albert Schweitzer, renowned as a great humanitarian – physician, philosopher, theologian, and musician – has become a legendary figure in his own time. Called reactionary and radical, tyrant and saint, few have been able to separate the myth from the man. Now, one of Dr Schweitzer’s close professional associates at his Lambaréné Hospital presents an intimate portrait of Albert Schweitzer, the man...” Charmingly illustrated with sketches by the author.
