Even in his boyhood there were traces of what was to become his \"reverence for life\" as a boy, he writes, he managed to dissuade several companions from going fishing because of the pain he felt the deed gave to both the worm and the fish. In poignant vignettes, Schweitzer also describes his unhappiness at discovering that he had better food or better clothing than chose around him. \u003ci\u003eMemoirs of Childhood and Youth\u003c\/i\u003e offers wonderful insights on Dr. Schweitzer's childhood journey that\u003cbr\u003eeventually led him to dedicate himself to medical service in African colonies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis new translation also has rarely seen photographs of Schweitzer, both as a youth and as an adult.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Albert Schweitzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815604467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815604464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.30h x 5.23w x 0.50d","brand":"Albert Schweitzer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995616510207,"sku":"9780815604464","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_899f350a-94cb-40ca-8292-7d5dc8f823e6.jpg?v=1683336822","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/memoirs-of-childhood-and-youth-albert-schweitzer-9780815604464","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
