«Ecce homo: Wie man wird, was man ist» is the autobiographical work by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Anaconda in hardback (128 pages, in German).
In this autobiographical work, Nietzsche presents himself: he explains why he is wise, why he is intelligent and why he writes good books, and reviews his works in order from The Birth of Tragedy to Twilight of the Idols, attacking Christian morality and the values of his time.
The text was written in 1888 and first appeared in 1908, after Friedrich Nietzsche's death. The Anaconda edition was published in 2007.
For readers of philosophy and German literature, as well as for those who want to get a close look at Nietzsche's figure and thought.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher and writer who started his career as a classical philologist and turned to philosophy early in his academic career. In 1869, at age 24, he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. Plagued by health problems for most of his life, he resigned from the university in 1879. He afterward lived as an independent writer, spending much of his life in relative solitude and financial insecurity while moving between Switzerland, Italy, and southern France in search of climates that might alleviate his condition, and in the following decade, he completed much of his core writing. In 1889, aged 44, he suffered a neurological collapse, and thereafter a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and vascular dementia; he lived out his remaining 11 years, first under the care of his mother, and later his sister, until his death. His works and his philosophy have fostered not only extensive scholarship but also much popular interest.
