Translated from the Swedish by Malcolm Munthe and from the German by Lord Sudley
The tremendous world appeal of The Story of San Michele is, at least partly, based upon the outspoken revelations of this famous Swedish doctors life. He was both a passionate humanitarian and a cynical cosmopolite, doctor to the Royal House of Sweden, and tireless worker in the pestilential slums, a passionate lover of birds and animals and a hater of the shams and intrigues of his fashionable Parisian practice. These and other paradoxes made Munthes story one of the great best sellers of all times. It is with amazement, therefore, that we turn to his biography and find the man revealed in any new lights.
