Couverture rigide. Condition: Bon. Il s'agit d'un récit autobiographique dans lequel Albert Schweitzer relate ses premières expériences en Afrique équatoriale française, plus précisément à Lambaréné (actuel Gabon), où il a fondé un hôpital missionnaire. L'ouvrage mêle description ethnographique, témoignage humanitaire, réflexions philosophiques et récits du quotidien médical. Thèmes abordés : La confrontation entre la culture européenne et la réalité africaine. Le rôle de la médecine en milieu tropical. L'humanisme et la compassion. La nature luxuriante et parfois impitoyable de la forêt équatoriale. La philosophie de Schweitzer, notamment sa célèbre éthique du « respect de la vie » (Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben). Ce livre est un témoignage marquant de l'engagement humanitaire d'un intellectuel européen du début du XXe siècle. Il a contribué à la renommée internationale d'Albert Schweitzer, qui recevra plus tard le Prix Nobel de la Paix en 1952.

Our copy is enriched with an inscription by the latter in brown ink, written two years later, while he was in France for an extended period during which he frequently attended the Academy's sessions: "to Andrée Eekman [née Herrenschmidt, niece of his great friend Tata (Adèle Herrenschmidt) and wife of the painter-engraver Nicolas Eekman] my dear goddaughter Albert Schweitzer / 19 oct 1954." Discrete marginal dampstaining to the wrappers. A fine copy, very slightly sunned. (our own translation) *.
