Hans Zinsser har skrevet en anderledes selvbiografi. Den er fortalt i tredje person, og Hans Zinsser selv kaldes R.S. – forkortelse af "Romantic Self" ("Romantisk Selv" på dansk). Bogen fortæller om Hans Zinssers spændende liv som læge og bakteriolog i starten af 1900-tallet i USA. Hans Zinsser udgav over 200 bøger og artikler om lægevidenskaben, og hans forskning i tyfus er særligt bandebrydende. Ved siden af sin medicinske karriere udgav Hans Zinsser også flere digte. "Som jeg mindes ham: R.S.‘ biografi" vandt en "National Book Award" i 1940.Hans Zinsser (1878-1940) var en amerikansk læge, bakteriolog, forfatter og digter. Han er bedst kendt for sin bog "Rats, Lice, and History" fra 1935, og flere af hans digte er udkommet i "The Atlantic Monthly".

The typhus pathogen was transmitted by rat fleas to human beings, who then transmitted it to other humans and in some strains from human to human. This book is devoted to a discussion of the biology of typhus and history of typhus fever in human affairs.

From the pestilence which contributed to the downfall of Rome to the dancing manias of medieval Europe, the aristocracy's fashion for wearing wigs and the role of typhus in the First World War, Hans Zinsser reveals just how disease and epidemics have shaped human history.
