It won the Nietzsche Society''s first prize and was admired by luminous contemporaries including André Gide, Hermann Hesse, Gottfried Benn, and Thomas Mann. Although translated into French in 1932, the book was never translated into English following the decline of Nietzsche''s and Bertram''s reputations after 1945. Now, with Nietzsche''s importance for twentieth-century thought undisputed, the work by one of his most influential interpreters can at last be read in English. \u003cp\u003e Employing a perspectival technique inspired by Nietzsche himself, Bertram constructs a densely layered portrait of the thinker that shows him riven by deep and ultimately irresolvable cultural, historical, and psychological conflicts.
