Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 5th or later Edition. Condition: (see pics.)A neat copy in in a clean, good and tight condition. Synopsis: A vivid account of Schweitzer's impressions and experiences during his first period in Equatorial Africa (modern Gabon), written "with the help of the reports which I wrote every six months in Lambarene and sent as printed letters to my friends and supporters". The book describes the challenges Schweitzer faced as a doctor in Africa: limited resources, oppressive heat (exposing the head for even a few minutes of sunlight could cause sunstroke), and, of course, terrible illnesses that are unknown outside Africa. Schweitzer was drawn to Lambarene because of the prevalence of sleeping sickness in the area, and he explains the long, tedious, and uncertain method by which the disease was diagnosed. He won the nobel peace prize in 1952. Seller Inventory # ABE-1601151898313
