<b>Beautifully packaged reissue of the vividly lyrical biography of Nietzsche that John Banville called ''a major intellectual event''</b><br><br>In 1888, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche moved to Turin. This would be the year in which he wrote three of his greatest works: <i>Twilight of the Idols</i>, <i>The Antichrist</i>, and <i>Ecce Homo</i>; it would also be his last year of writing. He suffered a debilitating nervous breakdown in the first days of the following year.<br><br> In this probing, elegant biography of that pivotal year, Lesley Chamberlain undoes popular clichés and misconceptions about Nietzsche by offering a deeply complex approach to his character and work.<br> <br>Focusing as much on Nietzsche''s daily habits, anxieties and insecurities as on the development of his philosophy, <i>Nietzsche in Turin </i>offers a uniquely lively portrait of the great thinker, and of the furiously productive days that preceded his decline.
