Kill the Demon?: My Guillain-Barré Experience - Paperback

by Paul Schäublin (Author), Desmarchelier Armèle (Translator), Sebastian Rypson (Cover Design by)

Paul Schäublin was affected by Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) in 2006, whilst working in Africa. This book is a personal account of his experience with this mysterious disease which significantly impacted the rest of his life. Initially a form of auto-therapy, this story gradually became a book for all those who have inexplicably contracted some such obscure disease. This is a story of sickness, struggle, endurance and ultimately hope with a positive outcome.

Paul Schäublin was born in Vevey, Switzerland (1949). Having studied at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), he graduated as civil engineer. Paul has worked for most of his life as project manager for a major oil company. As part of his work, he has lived in a large number of countries from Kazakhstan to Azerbaijan, Australia to Papua New Guinea and almost all the countries of the African continent. Paul currently lives in Amsterdam where he co-directs an art gallery devoted to photography.
