Synopsis

“Without music, life would be a mistake.”
“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.” ...
“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.”
“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.”
Nietzsche
The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's autobiography, Ecce Homo, was the last prose work that he wrote before his illness in 1889. Coming at the end of an extraordinarily productive year in which he had produced The Twilight of the Idols and The Antichrist, Nietzsche shuns any pretense at modesty with chapter titles include “Why I am so Wise”, “Why I am so Clever” and “Why I Write Such Excellent Books”. His translator Anthony M. Ludovici states, Ecce Homo “is not only a coping-stone worthy of the wonderful creations of that year, but also a fitting conclusion to his whole life, in the form of a grand summing up of his character as a man, his purpose as a reformer, and his achievement as a thinker.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher, cultural critic and philologist whose work has exerted a profound influence on modern intellectual history. He began his career as a classical philologist before turning to philosophy.

About Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher and philologist whose best-known works include Thus Spoke Zarathustra; Ecce Homo; Human, All Too Human; and Beyond Good and Evil. Much of his work is characterized by radical questioning of the value and objectivity of truth and criticism of traditional ideals of morality. Nietzsche's writings were significant influences on the existentialist, nihilist, and postmodernist schools of thought, as well as on the work of such later writers as Herman Hesse, Albert Camus, Sigmund Freud, and Jean-Paul Sartre.

For whom am I writing this review? If Nietzsche were by my side I suspect he would want me to start with the following quote from Ecce Homo: "To you, the bold venturers and adventurers, and whoever has embarked with cunning sails upon dreadful seas, to you who are intoxicated with riddles, who take......more

Un document biografic și psihologic sfîșietor. La începutul lunii octombrie a anului 1888, cuprins de o exaltare care ar fi trebuit să-i îngrijoreze pe prieteni, Nietzsche se hotărăște să redacteze un scurt bilanț. Locuiește în Torino. Va împlini 44 de ani, a publicat 10 cărți (după socoteala proprie......more

"فأنا أحمل على كتفيّ قدَر الإنسانيّة." "أعرف قدري.. ذات يوم سيقترن اسمي بذكرى شيء هائل رهيب؛ بأزمه لم يُعرف لها مثيل علي وجه الارض، أعمق رجة في الوعي... فأنا لست إنسانًا، بل عبوة ديناميت. لا أتحدّث البتّة إلى كتلة الجماهير... وأشد ما يخيفني هو أن يكرّسني الناس ذات يوم كقداسة: بإمكان المرء أن يخمّن ال......more

Goodreads review by Chris_P on May 13, 2017

I was once asked, if I could meet and have a conversation with one writer/poet/philosopher of any era, dead or alive, whom would I choose? The answer was and always has been Nietzsche. I would sit down and have a hell of a talk with the guy, although, I'm sure, we would end up with our hands on each......more
