Description
This book provides the only personal portrait of Schweitzer, here as a young man on a quest to better the lot of humankind, and of the woman who helped to shape that pursuit.
Schweitzer was twenty-six and Helene Bresslau twenty-two when they met.
He was preparing for an academic life in theology and philosophy, which his skill as a musician supplemented his intellectual work.
Helene stepped beyond the conventions of the day by entering the nursing field, by founding a welfare program for single mothers, and fearlessly stating her own opinions.
While Schweitzer searched for his path. Bresslau provided the sounding board for many of his ideas.
