Description
Axel Munthe: The Road to San Michele tells the story of an extraordinary individual who came to define the times he lived in. Born into a Swedish family, Munthe rose to become one of the youngest doctors in French history, working under renowned physician Jean Martin Charcot. Munthe's life was marked by his love for nature and animals, which led him to travel extensively across Europe and Lapland. He also became embroiled in the vibrant cultural circles of fin de siecle Europe, befriending notable figures such as Henry James and Rainer Maria Rilke. Despite his connections with royalty, Munthe found solace in his work at a bird sanctuary on the Italian island of Capri. This biography, written by Bengt Jangfeldt after pouring over Munthe's diaries, letters, and notebooks, offers a unique insight into the life of one of 20th-century Europe's most fascinating figures.
