1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The letter carrier called Porta LettereBy Anne PhillipsAxel Munthe begins his autobiography with a visit to , the then difficult to reach upper village on the island of . He is immediately enthralled by the island, the Roman ruins, the isolated people and their stories. Alas, Munthe decides to pursue his medical education and finishes at a furious pace before establishing himself as a fashionable doctor in Paris. He is finding patients among the mostly Italian street sweepers, does not hesitate to help during typhoid epidemics, and straddles the gap between aristocracy and the destitute. Munthe often secures help for the families of his poorest patients extending far beyond medical help. We meet all manner of people, never does Munthe shrink from visiting a sufferer, and we follow him to a residence, where ladies give birth to children they do not wish to keep - he saves the English mother and finds the abandoned child. Finally, an elderly couple in search of their daughter, exposes a horrific medical experiment and Munthe is summarily dismissed from his prestigious appointment. On to a cholera epidemic in , where he confronts fear and seemingly deliberately inflicted death. Next to Sicily and the destruction wrought by the Messina earthquake and, after some incredible adventures, an escape to the mainland. A Matterhorn ascent that he barely survived is given some paragraphs. Finally, Munthe ends up in his ever-expanding villa in Anacapri, an esteemed (Protestant) foreigner, an affable host and ever busy builder of his villa. There is enough adventure, disease, disaster, narrow escapes, villains, and ordinary people to make you wonder how Munthe packed it all into a lifetime. It is a great book and Munthe is remarkable writer.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. great story, sad mis-spellingsBy ebThe story is great -- I had read it before, and enjoyed it again. Axel Munthe is an amazing man and has a gift for telling heartwarming stories.Unfortunately, this edition has many, many misspellings, expecially in the French and Italian bits. But even sometimes in English -- here's no excuse for a chapter heading of "Back in Pahis" (should be "Back in Paris").0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Amazing storyBy CristinaA bit sad but splendid story! Axel Munthe was the kind of person that fills our hearts and never leaves it. It is an example of the strenght of our willpower
