Description
A Swedish native, a fashionable doctor in Paris and Rome, a person with an incredibly strong love for the weak and helpless, a savior of lives of people and animals, a collector of ancient treasures, a man who built himself a dream house. And who declared: What you wish to preserve, you will lose – what you give up will remain with you forever. Axel Munthe. His book, one of the most read in world literature and translated into more than fifty languages, often deliberately defies the reality of the flowing time: events of ten years are condensed into a single change of seasons, while a week can seem like a year. There are strangely uncertain images, whose disconnection from time and causality causes dizziness. The flow of narration carries us now in one direction, then in another. Perhaps these are the reasons why the popularity of this book is so enduring...
