Bücher der Reihe Albert Schweitzer Library

A dual-language collection of 65 letters between humanitarian Albert Schweitzer and William Larimer Mellon Jr, a descendant of one of America's most powerful families. This text includes letters written from 1947 until Schweitzer's death in 1965.

The second edition of this biography of humanitarian Albert Schweitzer has been updated to include documents discovered since the work was originally written. These include letters between Schweitzer and Helene Bresslau from the ten years before their marriage.

In the 1940s and 1950s, Albert Schweitzer was one of the best-known figures on the world stage. Schweitzer is less well known now but nonetheless a man of perennial fascination, and this volume brings his achievements across a variety of areas - philosophy, theology, and medicine - into sharper focus.
