«El viajero y su sombra» is the philosophical essay by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Edicomunicación in paperback (157 pages, in Spanish).
In this work, written as a dialogue between a traveller and his shadow, Nietzsche brings together brief reflections close to the aphorism on morality, religion, culture, art and society. The text deals with questions that weigh on the human soul and employs a clear and incisive style to explore artistic creation and life in community.
This edition belongs to the Clásicos Universales collection from Fontana. Translation by Enrique Eidelstein; prologue and presentation by Francesc L. Cardona.
For philosophy readers interested in Nietzsche and in thought expressed in brief texts.
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.
