The book can be read in no less than 45 languages and the Villa San Michele is visited by millions of people from all over the world. With the exception of a few shorter periods, Munthe lived on Capri for more than 56 years. His interest for the island in the Bay of Naples coincided with the growing popularity of Capri as an attractive place of residence for famous personages from all the world. During the First World War Axel Munthe served as a physician in the British Red Cross at the front in France.Axel Munthe became a legendary physician who always gave free medical treatment to the poor. For some time he maintained a hospice for elderly, destitute people in a castle outside Rome. He was an outstanding psychologist who was extremely restrictive in prescribing treatment by drugs. The preferred forms of treatment prescribed by Munthe included hypnosis and therapy through music. San Michele is a Swedish cultural institution on the island of Capri. It consists of a museum surrounded by unusually beautiful grounds, a guest house for Swedish citizens engaged in cultural work or in research, a nature reserve for the protection of migrating birds and the preservation of certain Mediterranean flora, as well as the Barbarossa Mountain.
