«El caminante y su sombra» is a philosophical work by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Edimat Libros in hardback (191 pages, in Spanish).
The work is structured as a dialogue between the wanderer and his shadow, full of aphorisms and reflections on morality, solitude and the search for truth. Nietzsche encourages distrust of social conventions and forging one's own path, and conceives it as a doctrine of health and a voluntary discipline, far from displayed compassion.
The work was originally published in 1880 as Der Wanderer und sein Schatten. This 1999 edition belongs to the Clásicos Selección collection; it includes a translation by Luis Díaz Marín and an introduction by Enrique López Castellón.
For those who appreciate the philosophical essay, aphoristic literature and Nietzsche's work in brief editions.
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.
