The Book of San Michele, by Axel Munthe Bibliofonia Program The Book of San Michele, by Axel Munthe, is a charming work that combines personal memories and profound reflections of a humanist doctor who lived through important moments in history. After buying land on the island of Capri, in Italy, Munthe built his villa, San Michele, which became a refuge where he cultivated his passion for nature, animals and coexistence with the local population. The author narrates encounters with historical figures and dramatic events, such as wars and earthquakes, in addition to reflecting on human greatness and misery, including his own. The first volume of the excellent Two Worlds Collection, the book stands out for its sincerity and richness of details, offering an insight into the human condition and the world of the period. Its sequel, “Men and Animals”, is equally engaging, presenting additional accounts that complement the memories of Munthe, one of the great chroniclers of his time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ????Bibliofonia Program ????
