Dr Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) was already famous as a musician, philosopher and theologian when he qualified as a medical doctor and forsook Europe's comforts to live ethically, with what he called "Reverence for Life". In pursuit of this aim, in a jungle in equatorial Africa, he built a hospital and a leper village for isolated hunter-gatherers. His achievements were recognised with international awards, honorary degrees, and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952. In his last years, Schweitzer was a vehement protester against the development of nuclear arms and against foreign interference in the Congo. Suddenly he became an easy target for criticism. Schweitzer's biography reminds us of the sacrifice required to live a moral life, including that our well-intended actions are as likely to arouse excoriation as admiration. In Part One of Albert Schweitzer: the Difficulty of Doing Good, the author takes a fresh look at Schweitzer’s life story, acknowledging the often grinding toil and emotional demands that interrupt, even preclude, success. Her account illuminates Part Two, the brief diary kept by her father, Cecil Morris, an orthopaedic surgeon, on his working visit to Schweitzer. ________________________________ Patricia Morris is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. She is the author of Freud, Politics and Civilisation and Love & Sex: 50 therapy lessons, about problems in relationships that bring people into therapy. ________________________________, Paperback, Label: The Authors' Collective, The Authors' Collective, Product group: Book, Published: 2017-10-18, Studio: The Authors' Collective, Sales rank: 1085910.
