Not having read any of his other works, me and probably others, came to the conclusion that Nietzsche is an egocentric who is losing his mind. (Because he did lose his mind, suffered from illness and waned.) He praises himself as a genius misunderstood by his own kind while despising Christianity, his German kin, their philosophy and way of life. The immoralist who stood against false values, corrupted by idealism and `morality`. And for his time and probably in our days he has a point, a point he presents with the complexity of his love for philology. It was a hard to chew read for me until the very last pages where thing started to click, also had to do some research on the topics he raised his voice. Overall it's not a read for everybody and it requires patience and a lot of peaking into the context of the world and humanity at the time and how some of his concerns are also relevant in today's age.
