«La historia de San Michele» is the autobiographical work by Axel Munthe, published by Editorial Juventud in paperback (478 pages, in Spanish).
The author, a Swedish doctor, recounts in these pages his experiences and memories, from his youth to his settling in Capri, where he built the villa San Michele on the site of the villa of Emperor Tiberius. The work, which critics have read as an autobiography or a doctor's memoirs, combines anecdotes from his medical practice, personal reflections, and portraits of life on the island.
It belongs to the Z. Biografías collection. Originally published in 1929, this is the 14th edition, translated by Nanny Wachsmuth de Zamora.
A classic of travel literature and memoirs, with special appeal for readers interested in Capri, biography, and medicine.
