Memories and Vagaries have been out of print for long. Death was due to natural cause, and the few mourners who accompanied the book to the common grave of oblivion, have so far borne their loss with stubborn resignation. So have I, until the long-forgotten book was read to me the other day by a friendly voice. As I listened with a compassionate smile on my lips to these humble stories, I suddenly felt a pang in my heart, and I wished I could write to-day just such a book as this with all its shortcomings, its boyish boisterousness, its guileless self-consciousness, its incorrigible joie de vivre and its unshaken faith. Alas! I shall wish it in vain, it is my youth I wish for! La vie s'en va, Madame, la vie s'en va ! Hélas! la vie non, mais nous, nous en allons.

Autorenporträt
Axel Martin Fredrik Munthe (31 October 1857 - 11 February 1949) was a Swedish-born physician, psychiatrist, and author, best known for his autobiographical work The Story of San Michele. Born in Sweden, Munthe showed a passion for medicine from an early age and went on to study in Sweden and Paris. He spoke several languages fluently, including Swedish, English, French, and Italian, and later established his first medical practice in France. Munthe gained international fame not only for his contributions to medicine but also for his philosophical insights and reflections on life, which he skillfully incorporated into his writing. His work, The Story of San Michele, reflects his deep understanding of the human condition, shaped by his experiences as a physician and psychiatrist. Munthe's life was marked by a combination of scientific rigor and artistic sensitivity, and his legacy as a writer continues to influence readers seeking thoughtful exploration of life's complexities. He lived much of his later life in Italy, where he became known for his work at the San Michele sanatorium.
