«El viajero y su sombra» is the philosophical essay by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Brontes in paperback (125 pages, in Spanish).
Work by Friedrich Nietzsche originally published in 1879 and linked to the second volume of Human, All Too Human, though conceived as an autonomous piece. In it, a traveller dialogues with his shadow on numerous questions of moral and existential order, in a reflective and aphoristic register.
This complete edition belongs to the Literatura Universal Fontana collection (series C 103) and includes a prologue and presentation by historian Francesc Ll. Cardona.
Recommended for philosophy readers and for those seeking a brief work that invites introspection.
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.
