Published
to
commemorate
Albert
Schweitzer's
only
visit
to
the
United
States
60
years
ago,
this
anniversary
edition
of
his
autobiography
gives
21st-century
readers
a
unique
and
authoritative
account
of
the
man
John
F.
Kennedy
called
"one
of
the
transcendent
moral
influences
of
our
century." Schweitzer
is
celebrated
around
the
world
as
a
European
pioneer
of
medical
service
in
Africa,
a
groundbreaking
philosopher
and
musical
scholar,
and
a
catalyst
of
environmental
and
peace
activism.
Yet
people
most
revere
Schweitzer
for
his
dedication
to
serving
others
and
his
profound
and
influential
ethic
of
reverence
for
life.
For
Schweitzer,
reverence
for
life
was
not
a
theory
or
a
philosophy
but
a
discovery—a
recognition
that
the
capacity
to
experience
and
act
on
a
reverence
for
all
life
is
a
fundamental
part
of
human
nature,
a
characteristic
that
sets
human
beings
apart
from
the
rest
of
the
natural
world. This
anniversary
edition
coincides
with
several
high
profile
celebrations
of
his
1949
visit,
as
well
as
the
release
of
a
new
feature
film
starring
Jeroen
Krabbe
and
Barbara
Hershey.
In
addition
to
a
foreword
by
Nobel
Laureate
and
former
U.S.
President
Jimmy
Carter,
this
edition
features
a
new
foreword
by
Lachlan
Forrow,
president
of
The
Albert
Schweitzer
Fellowship.--This
text
refers
to
the
Paperback edition.
