Seller's Description:
New. 0300092784. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request *** – – *** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-BRAND NEW, FLAWLESS COPY, NEVER OPENED-336 pp. 43 black and white illus. --DESCRIPTION: Publishers Weekly-Author and journalist Kohler has carefully charted the history of philosophy, music and Nazism in well-received translated works like Nietzsche and Wagner: A Lesson in Subjugation and Wagner's Hitler: The Prophet and His Disciple. Now Yale offers this abridged version of a book first published in Germany a dozen years ago, minus an analysis of Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra. Kohler's main assertion is that Nietzsche was gay, or wanted to be and didn't dare to act on it, and was especially tormented as a result. To this end, Kohler recounts a number of unproven assertions, such as that Nietzsche contracted the syphilis that drove him mad in "a male brothel in Genoa. " Such speculations can be taken too far, such as when Kohler states confidently that the young Nietzsche enjoyed Lord Byron's poetry because of "Byron's perversions. " Perhaps this book's abridgment affected its symmetry, but it lacks the shapely form and persuasive arguments of Nietzsche and Wagner. The clear translation brings passages of neo-Nietzschean ornate writing to life: "Throughout the nineteenth century and far into the twentieth the exiles of Sodom sought a new home in the `warm south. ' Nietzsche joined them...." Since no tell-all exists, the book's whole argument consists of approximations and near-misses. ** Library Journal: With unabashed frankness, Kohler has written a very engaging psychosexual investigation into the tragic personal life of iconoclastic philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (l844-l900), from the untimely death of his father to his mental collapse because of tertiary syphilis. The author focuses on the great thinker's tormented conscience owing to repressed homosexuality, analyzing his books, poems, letters, visions, diaries, and dreams (frequently nightmares) in order to find symbolic references to his sexual yearnings for the male gender. As a result, Nietzsche's complex but unsuccessful relationships with friends and pupils are shown to have homosexual significance. Kohler uses these findings to shed new light on Nietzsche's intense interests in Byron, Wagner, Holderlin, Schopenhauer, Flaubert, and especially Greek antiquity. There is also a brief examination of both his provocative claim that "God is dead" and his conception of material reality as the eternal recurrence of this same universe. This important and boldly unique book supplements all those strictly philosophical studies of Friedrich Nietzsche that have excluded his sexuality. --with a bonus offer--
