Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Munthe was a true Renaissance man a scientist and doctor as well as a poet who was a friend of Henry James, Somerset Maugham, and others. In this 1929 volume, he offers an account of San Michele, a house he built on the site of Roman emperor Tiberius's villa on the Isle of Capri off Italy's southern coast. His weaving of the story of the house with Italian history, mythology, and culture is reminiscent of 18th- and 19th-century travelogs. This book was a smash in several languages for many years.

Kurzbeschreibung
A bestseller in a dozen languages and a favorite of readers for decades, The Story of San Michele is one of a remarkable life filled with fabulous experiences and ambitions. Axel Munthe was a fashionable physician in Paris who built one of the best-loved houses in the world, San Michele, on the Isle of Capri, on the site of the villa of the emperor Tiberius. Written with intelligence and verve, this autobiography tells tales of buried treasure in Italy, legendary creatures in Lapland, and the cold countesses and kindly whores of Naples--enough material, as one critic put it, "to furnish writers of short stories with plots for the rest of their lives." "A frank and absorbing autobiography...packed with good stories, vivid scenes, and memorable portraits." -- The Times [London] "Written in an imaginative style that is vigorous and impressive." -- New York Times

Format:Taschenbuch
I have read initially The story of San Michelle while I was a medical student in Trivandrum Medical College (India) way back in early 1960's. I must have reread the book at least 5 or 6 times since then. Everytime I read the book, I really wished to visit the island described by Dr Axel Munthe and his San Michele. I still marvel at the honest narration and great readability of the book. I would certainly recommend this book to every medical student anywhere in the World.

I was introduced to this charming book by my mother over 30 years ago, and have in turn introduced it to my wife and daughter. It has gone through hundreds of editions in countless languages and is still being read by those lucky enough to discover it.
Format:Taschenbuch
I accidentally stumbled upon this book the same day having visited the Island of Capri and wanting to have visited the Villa San Michele, but unfortunately having missed it. Needing to read something in English the Italian shopkeepers wisely had a few copies in stock. I took it as a sign that the book must be bought and read. I cannot recount how many times I had tears well up in my eyes with this simple yet profound story. I fell in love with Axel Munthe and all his colourful characters both human and animal alike. Read this book and keep it close to your heart!
