About this book

"Albert Schweitzer was already world renowned when he was persuaded to share with the public these candid reminiscences of early days at Lambarene, Gabon, Africa. The multitude of brief entries in this book capture the flavor of Schweitzer's mission in vignettes and philosophical musings on the history of the land, the culture, rituals of the native people, and his medical practice."--BOOK JACKET.
