Bücher der Reihe Albert Schweitzer Library

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.
