«Mi Hermana y Yo» is the autobiographical text attributed to Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Edaf in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
Nietzsche wrote this text during his confinement in an asylum in Jena, embittered by his relatives' manoeuvres to prevent the publication of «Ecce Homo» during his lifetime. The manuscript, entrusted to a fellow asylum inmate, was not published until after the philosopher's death; in the book, Nietzsche subjects his existence and his work to a critical gaze.
It is part of the Biblioteca Edaf collection as volume 134; the publisher registers this edition as no. 1.
For readers interested in nineteenth-century philosophy and in Nietzsche's more personal side, with attention to the biographical context of his last works.
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.
