'A major intellectual event... simply the best book I have read in a very long time on the greatest philosopher of the modern age' - John Banville 'This brilliant book should be a great relief for anyone condemned to read the run of contemporary Nietzsche commentaries; and for anyone who isn't, it could be an introduction which is hard to imagine being surpassed in passion and lucidity' - The Times 'Lesley Chamberlain has a rare gift for animating philosophy through intensely human stories' - Sunday Telegraph
