Publisher's summary

A dazzling biographical study of the greatest German philosopher of the nineteenth century by one of the most widely read German-language authors of the twentieth century. In this vivid and eloquent biography, Zweig largely eschews the traditional academic discourse on the philosopher's work, instead concentrating entirely on Nietzsche as a person, his habits, his passions and his obsessions. Stefan Zweig describes the tragedy of Nietzsche's existence, his seclusion from the world, in self-imposed isolation, in a compelling and impressive way.

This work is the third essay from the book The Fight with the Demon: Hölderlin, Kleist, Nietzsche written in 1925 and was translated by Vanessa Walsh in 2021.

Stunning

A wonderful translation of a masterful turn of phrase. Few things are as tragic as the sidelining of Zweig in our time; I am grateful to the author for their work.
