This book is Nietzsche’s most intimate work, presenting all the personal experiences in his struggle with the pain he received as a great gift.

It was in this book that the idea of God’s Death was first told by Nietzsche in an allegory of the Crazy Man, which was then followed by a proposition about Eternal Recurrence.

What if all philosophy until now had not stood on the stake of truth, but something else-perhaps we might call it; health, future, growth, power, life. (Friedrich Nietzsche)
