Reviewing the French edition of this book in January 1921, _The
Times Literary Supplement_ said: "Madame Metchnikoff's excellent
analysis of her husband's scientific theories does not hinder
her from showing us the living, the lovable, the extraordinary
human being who conceived so many ideas, who developed so many
theories, inventions, innovations.... Mme. Metchnikoff has made
us admire the man of science and warmly the man."

a great man, a great career, and a great epoch in the history of
France and of science."--_The Times Literary Supplement._
