Damien of Molokai 1840-1889 is a biographical book written by Irene Caudwell. The book tells the story of Father Damien, a Belgian Catholic missionary who dedicated his life to serving the lepers on the Hawaiian island of Molokai. The book provides a detailed account of Damien's journey from his early life as a farm boy in Belgium to his arrival in Hawaii in 1864, where he volunteered to serve the lepers who were exiled to Molokai. The book describes the harsh living conditions on the island, where the lepers were forced to live in isolation and were often neglected by the government and the church. Despite the challenges, Damien worked tirelessly to improve the lives of the lepers. He built homes, schools, and churches, and provided medical care and spiritual guidance to those in need. The book also explores Damien's personal life, including his struggles with his own health and his relationships with his fellow missionaries and the Hawaiian people. It delves into his controversial decision to live among the lepers, which led to his own contraction of the disease and eventual death. Overall, Damien of Molokai 1840-1889 is a moving tribute to a man who devoted his life to helping others and who continues to inspire people around the world today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
