Zwischen Wasser und Urwald. English On the edge of the primeval forest : $b Experiences and observations of a doctor in Equatorial Africa Produced by Al Haines "On the Edge of the Primeval Forest" by Albert Schweitzer is a memoir detailing the experiences and observations of a doctor in Equatorial Africa, written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles Schweitzer’s transition from being a professor to dedicating his life to humanitarian work as a physician in the remote region of the Ogowe River, highlighting his mission to aid the local population suffering from various ailments. The opening of the memoir reveals Schweitzer’s motivations for seeking a medical career in Africa, spurred by a strong sense of ethical responsibility towards the suffering indigenous peoples he learned about as a young man. It describes his decision to leave his previous academic and musical life behind, the preparation for his journey, and his arrival in Lambarene where he began his work. The chapter introduces the complexities of the local environment, including the socio-cultural dynamics and the health challenges facing the native population, as well as the medical facilities he aims to establish amid limited resources.
