A compelling portrait of one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century, by one of the bestselling writers of the twentieth
In this vivid biographical study, Zweig eschews traditional academic discussion and focuses on Nietzsche’s habits, passions and obsessions.
Concentrating on the man rather than the work, on his tragic isolation and volatile creativity, Zweig draws the reader inexorably into the drama of Nietzsche’s life.
