Showing results for "Friedrich Nietzsche" in Historical Fiction

Josef Breuer, one of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis, is at the height of his career. Friedrich Nietzsche, Europe's greatest philosopher, is on the brink of suicidal despair, unable to find a cure for the headaches and other ailments that plague him. When he agrees to treat Nietzsche with his experimental "talking cure", Breuer never expects that he, too, will find solace in their sessions. Only through facing his own inner demons can the gifted healer begin to help his patient.

Also sprach Zarathustra was conceived and written by Friedrich Nietzsche during the years 1881-1885; the first three Parts were published in 1883 and 1884. The book formed part of his "campaign against morality", in which Nietzsche explored the ethical consequences of the "death of God".

Un deslumbrante estudio biográfico del mayor filósofo alemán del siglo XIX por uno de los autores de habla alemana más leídos del siglo XX. En esta vívida y elocuente biografía, Zweig evita en gran medida el discurso académico tradicional sobre la obra del filósofo, concentrándose por completo en Nietzsche como persona, sus hábitos, sus pasiones y sus obsesiones. Stefan Zweig describe la tragedia de la existencia de Nietzsche, su aislamiento del mundo, en el aislamiento autoimpuesto, de una manera extremadamente poderosa e impresionante.
