Rate this book
The power behind this essay lies in the connection between the author and the then still-unknown Brandes was a close friend of the philosopher, and he wrote this book when the man was still alive.   La fuerza de este ensayo radica en el vínculo que unía al autor con un Nietzsche aún Brandes fue amigo cercano del filósofo, y escribió el libro cuando éste todavía vivía

Georg Morris Cohen Brandes (4 February 1842 – 19 February 1927) was a Danish critic and scholar who had great influence on Scandinavian and European literature from the 1870s through the turn of the 20th century. He is seen as the theorist behind the "Modern Breakthrough" of Scandinavian culture. At the age of 30, Brandes formulated the principles of a new realism and naturalism, condemning hyper-aesthetic writing and fantasy in literature. According to Brandes, literature should be an organ "of the great thoughts of liberty and the progress of humanity." His literary goals were shared by many authors, among them the Norwegian realist playwright Henrik Ibsen.
When Georg Brandes held a series of lectures in 1871 with the title "Main Currents in 19th-century Literature," he defined the Modern Breakthrough and started the movement that would become Cultural Radicalism. In 1884 Viggo Hørup, Georg Brandes, and his brother Edvard Brandes started the daily newspaper Politiken with the motto: "The paper of greater enlightenment." The paper and their political debates led to a split of the liberal party Venstre in 1905 and created the new party Det Radikale Venstre.

Georg Brandes explora y analiza la obra de Nietzsche, quien fue contemporáneo y conocido suyo, de una forma sencilla y de fácil comprensión para cualquiera que lo lea. Creo que esta es la fuerza del ensayo, una introducción al pensamiento y obra de Nietzsche de fácil acceso para quien busque adentrarse en su compleja obra. El ensayo consta del análisis de El Nacimiento de la Tragedia, La genealogía de la moral, y Así Hablaba Zaratrusta de una forma bastante objetiva y sin distorsión

Es un breve ensayo donde se ahonda el entendimiento de alguien tan profundo y complejo como Nietzsche. La explicación sobre el altruismo/egoísmo del filosófo alemán, aún y cuando es breve, la encontré profundamente inspiradora.

Un gran ensayo que nos remiten a la situación social y artística del siglo XIX y a los problemas y situaciones en los que Brandes descubrió y promovió a Nietzsche como autor de primer nivel.
