Nietzsche

“Mr. Crain Brinton’s Nietzsche is in spirit and method the work of one of the shrewdest and most original of our younger historians. And, as a primarily biographical and popular essay, it is fortunately free of that sacerdotal solemnity with which the subject is commonly approached. Indeed, it is written with such brilliance and skill that it will be well not to overlook the soberness and force of conviction on which its argument is based. – Excerpt from the book review by Dr. Victor Lange in the Philosophical Review, published by the Duke University Press
