More From The Primeval Forest

More From The Primeval Forest (1956) by Albert Schweitzer – Crappy Old Books Edition

From the Nobel Peace Prize-winning humanitarian, philosopher, and jungle doctor Albert Schweitzer comes More From The Primeval Forest—a gritty, unvarnished sequel to his earlier memoirs of medical missionary work in the depths of equatorial Africa.

First published in 1956 by A.C. Black, this compelling volume continues Schweitzer’s firsthand account of life and labour at his now-legendary hospital in Lambaréné. With his trademark blend of insight, idealism, and weary realism, Schweitzer reflects on the joys and frustrations of daily existence in the tropical forest, where he treated everything from leprosy to machete wounds while juggling colonial politics, crocodiles, and a wildly unpredictable generator.

Expect no romanticism here—just mud, malaria, and the occasional philosophical musing between surgeries. A fascinating glimpse into a bygone world, and into the mind of a man who lived his ethics at full volume.

Sold with just the right amount of mildew and marginalia by Crappy Old Books—because some stories are too stubborn to die cleanly.

Very good condition hardback with good dust cover. Ha an owners name scribbled out on inside page from 1956.
