The ideal book for anyone interested in Nietzsche's life and work.
'Hollingdale's reliable, learned, reasonable, and above all deeply humane biography of Nietzsche has provided students with a trustworthy guide to the life of one of the most important thinkers of modern times and a helpful introduction to the development of his thought. This new edition, revised in style and corrected and updated in context throughout, and furnished with an important appendix supplying an overview of recent developments in scholarship in Nietzsche, should equip new generations of students with the orientation, understanding and critical sympathy they will need to face the challenges posed to the contemporary world by Nietzsche, and by those who claim to represent him.' Glenn W. Most, University of Chicago ' ... a judicious and stimulating introduction to a man whose ideas have been more revered and more perverted than those of any modern thinker'. Financial Times
