buku in africa with schweitzer

Penulis Dr. Edgar Berman 308 halaman Penerbit New Horizon Press Dr. Edgar Berman was In Africa with Schweitzer as a member of the venerated doctors surgical team in Lambarene. There, he was about to delve into Schweitzes psyche, his personality, his rationale. He would ask and answer: why would a world famous physician maroon himself in the jungles of Africa: Why would an intellectual with doctorates in four disciplines choose a primitive, isolated life? Albert Schweitzer was feared, held in awe, placed on a pedestal and derided. Dr. Bermans diary, the germ of this remarkable account, was painstakingly written over months of living with Schweitzer, eating with him, listensing to his music, learning his philosophy and working with him in the nearby prehistoric operating room, an aging arena where all life was sacred. Berman provides us with a moving, in-depth portrait of one of this centurys most remarkable men and of the provocative writer-physician who sought him out.
