About this listen

At the center of the book lies a question that extends far beyond the legacy of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Albert Schweitzer: whether human universality is still possible in an age built on specialization; whether a person can remain whole when society rewards only fragments; whether integrity can survive when myth inevitably replaces life. This is a reflection on the tensions between authenticity and legend, work and representation, individual destiny and the machinery of history.

The legacy of Schweitzer, as presented here, is not an answer but an opening—a reminder that universality is neither a gift nor a relic, but a forgotten alternative to the narrowness of our time. Through his figure, the audiobook invites the reader to consider what it means to live without dividing oneself, to think without abandoning compassion, and to work without surrendering inward freedom.
