Book Synopsis
A compelling portrait of one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century, by one of the bestselling writers of the twentieth. In this vivid biographical study, Zweig eschews traditional academic discussion and focuses on Nietzsche's habits, passions and obsessions. Concentrating on the man rather than the work, on his tragic isolation and volatile creativity, Zweig draws the reader inexorably into the drama of Nietzsche's life.

Trade Review
'Zweig's accumulated historical and cultural studies [are] almost too impressive to take in.’ — Clive James


‘Zweig is the most adult of writers: civilised, urbane, but never jaded or cynical; a realist who none the less believe in the possibility – the necessity – of empathy.’ — Independent

‘Zweig… deserves to be famous again, and for good.’ — TLS
