He turned away from civilization to become a jungle doctor – and a saintly man. Autobiography of Albert Schweitzer by author Hermann Hagedorn. He is a doctor of medicine, a doctor of theology, a doctor of philosophy, a doctor of music. A noted scientist and experimental physician in the field of tropical medicine and one of the world's leading organists. He is the author of the most comprehensive biography of Johann Sebastian Bach and one of the greatest interpreters. He achieved more by the age of 30 than most even great men achieve their whole lives. Then he just put it all aside to become a doctor among the savages of central Africa. He lived with the simplicity of a hermit, traveling 3rd class, eating plain, wearing plain clothes and doing manual labor to save money for his hospital needs. This book gives a rare glimpse of this man born in 1875 of simple surroundings. His father was an evangelistic pastor. He grew up in the church and loved his father's sermons. He learned about missionaries through stories his father told. This is his story and how he became the man who changed the world around him.
