Description
In Reading Nietzsche Montinari tackles such subjects as the relationship between Nietzsche and Wagner, early drafts of Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and the philosopher's reputation among the Nazis and Marxists of the 1930s and 1940s. He also deals authoritatively with a number of figures who have had an unfortunate influence upon the way Nietzsche has been understood, from the chief Nazi interpreter of Nietzsche, Alfred Baumler, to the chief Marxist interpreter, Georg Lukacs, to Nietzsche's sister, Elisabeth.
A collection of essays and lectures by one of the foremost Nietzsche scholars cast new light on Nietzsche's life and works.
