Book Review:
''Surgeon of the Wilderness'' is a beautifully written and deeply moving biography of Dr. R.L. Spittel, written by his daughter Christine Spittel Wilson. This book offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the life of a remarkable man who was a pioneering surgeon, a compassionate humanitarian, and a passionate explorer.
Wilson's writing is both informative and heartfelt, capturing the essence of her father's character and his extraordinary contributions to Sri Lanka. The book covers his medical career, his rediscovery of the Veddas, and his literary work. It is a testament to a life lived with purpose and dedication.
This is a must-read for anyone interested in Sri Lankan history, medicine, and the legacy of one of its most fascinating figures. Highly recommended!
