Ecce Homo: How One Becomes What One Is--Revised Edition

Synopsis

In late 1888, only weeks before his final collapse into madness, nietzsche (1844-1900) set out to compose his autobiography, and ecce homo remains one of the most intriguing yet bizarre examples of the genre ever written. In this extraordinary work nietzsche traces his life, work and development as a philosopher, examines the heroes he has identified with, struggled against and then overcome - schopenhauer, wagner, socrates, christ - and predicts the cataclysmic impact of his 'forthcoming revelation of all values'.
