The Notorious Nietzsche: A Postmodern Bio-mythology

by Joseph F. Conte

Nietzsche has been raised to world-historic rank as a classic writer of prose and poetry; as a genuine, thoughtful and practical maker of books; and a virtuosi of both style and substance possessing artistic power totum ponere. He comes roaring like a river from the towering cliffs of solitude. Taken all in all, we shall not look upon his like ever again. He built for the centuries and belongs to the select few who do so. The curiously elusive magic of his personality, the boldness of his metaphors, the depth of his psychological intuitions, the sparkling malice of his wit and sarcasm - all this draws readers to him again and again.
