From the cover:
Within a year of the publication of George Vithoulkas' "Addition to Kent's Repertory of the Homoeopathic Materia Medica", we are pleased to bring out this long awaited work of the great Greek guru of Classical Homoeopathy. "Talks on Classical Homoepathy" was compiled from the cyclostyled material of the transcript of the recording of the Esalen Homoeopathic Conference held in California, USA, IN 1980.
About the author:
George Vithoulkas (born 1932)
George lives on the island of Alonissos, Greece. It was in 1960 in South Africa that he began his homeopathic studies and these were then continued in India. Since 1967 he has been teaching classical homeopathy. In 1994, he opened the now world-famous International Academy for Classical Homeopathy on the Greek island of Alonissos. His outstanding contribution to classical (Hahnemannian) homeopathy has helped to reinstate it in Europe and the United States. For this he was awarded the Alternative Nobel Prize in 1996. George has written books for both the layperson and the homeopathic practitioner. His works have been translated into more than twenty languages, and it's easy to see why. George's clear presentation and penetrating studies are a landmark in the world of homeopathy.
