"When for the first time I saw the evening rise with its red and gray softened in the Naples sky," Nietzsche wrote, "it was like a shiver, as though pitying myself for starting my life by being old, and the tears came to me and the feeling of having been saved at the very last second." Few would guess it from the author of such cheery works as The Birth of Tragedy, but as Paolo D'Iorio vividly recounts in this book, Nietzsche was enraptured by the warmth and sun of southern Europe. It was in Sorrento that Nietzsche finally matured as a thinker. Nietzsche first voyaged to the south in the autumn of 1876, upon the invitation of his friend, Malwida von Meysenbug. The trip was an immediate success, reviving Nietzsche's joyful and trusting sociability and fertilizing his creative spirit. Walking up and down the winding pathways of Sorrento and drawing on Nietzsche's personal notebooks, D'Iorio tells the compelling story of Nietzsche's metamorphosis beneath the Italian skies. It was here, D'Iorio shows, that Nietzsche broke intellectually with Wagner, where he decided to leave his post at Bale, and where he drafted his first work of aphorisms, Human, All Too Human, which ushered in his mature era. A sun-soaked account of a philosopher with a notoriously overcast disposition, this book is a surprising travelogue through southern Italy and the history of philosophy alike.
Nietzsche reiste zum ersten Mal 1876, einer freundschaftlichen Einladung Malwida von Meysenbugs folgend, gen Suden. Die Reise wurde sofort zum Erfolg, belebte Nietzsches zutrauliche Geselligkeit und befruchtete seinen kreativen Geist. Die Hugel um Sorrent anhand Nietzsches Tagebuch abschreitend, erzahlt D'Iorio uberzeugend von Nietzsches Metamorphose unter dem italienischen Himmel. Hier, so zeigt er, brach Nietzsche mit Wagner, und hier begann Nietzsche sein erstes aphoristisches Werk, Menschliches, Allzumenschliches, welches die reife Phase seines Denkens einleitete - hier wurde Nietzsche zum Philosophen. Als sonnendurchflutete Darstellung eines Philosophen, dem notorisch eine trube Gemutslage zueigen war, ist dieses Buch eine uberraschende Reise sowohl durch Suditalien als auch durch die Philosophiegeschichte.
This volume presents the first compilation of all the works and notes from Nietzsche's personal library up to the beginning of January 1889. It lists the stocks from both the Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek and the Goethe- und Schiller Archiv in Weimar. The critical analysis of other stock lists has revealed numerous further titles which are no longer in existence. In addition, the editors have evaluated all the book invoices and receipts from booksellers and bookbinders kept in the Goethe- und Schiller Archiv. Besides the approximately 2,200 titles from the reconstruction of Nietzsche's library, the volume also contains a catalogue of all traces of Nietzsche's reading (approx. 20,000) such as notes, underlinings and dog-ears. The work is further enhanced with numerous facsimile reproductions together with philosophical, historical and bibliographical introductions, and thus provides an indispensable tool for any future research into Nietzsche and his works.
