Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was born near Leipzig in 1844. When he was only twenty-four he was appointed to the chair of classical philology at Basel University. Works published in the 1880s include The Gay Science, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, On the Genealogy of Morals, Twilight of the Idols and The Antichrist. In January 1889, Nietzsche collapsed on a street in Turin and was subsequently institutionalized, spending the rest of his life in a condition of mental and physical paralysis. Works published after his death in 1900 include Will to Power, based on his notebooks, and Ecce Homo, his autobiography.

   Why I am so clever

   Boken innehåller tre kapitel från Ecce Homo. Why I am so wise, Why I am so clever och Why I write such good books. Som ett litet smakprov av Nietzsche i trevligt format. Jag köpte boken innan jag såg att det var utdrag från ett större verk, och jag ser fram mot att läsa mer. Sättet Nietzsche hyllar sig själv på retar många, men jag tycker att hans stil är rätt så underhållande.
