FRIEDRICH
NIETZSCHE
by Georg BRANDES
DISCOVERY :
Living Time Press is pleased to present to you the work which
first made known the genius of Friedrich Nietzsche to a wider
European public. The lectures given by Georg Brandes in 1888
were the first to treat of the life and works of this philosopher,
and if it had not been for his early initiative it is hard to
say whether it would not have taken years longer for Nietzsche's
writings to find their place in literature. The volume includes
the complete text of the 1889 "Essay on Aristocratic
Radicalism" (based largely on his lecture course of
1888), in addition to the complete Nietzsche-Brandes correspondence
and two essays by Brandes written after Nietzsche's death in
1900. This volume presents the full text of the 1909 edition
of Brandes's work. - It is perhaps the ideal introduction to
the life and work of Friedrich Nietzsche, as it allows the reader
to appreciate his great impact and originality at the time that
he was writing.
