When Nietzsche Wept
This review has been read
times
I am now almost complete with Irvin D. Yalom's book of "When Nietzsche Wept".
The venue is an interesting one with basically a "what would happen if" you
were to put together highly intellectual minds such as Nietzsche, Josef
Breuer ( considered the one of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis), and
even Freud! The book is indeed fiction, but is very carefully a "well-wrought
tale" giving good insight as to perhaps the everyday thinking (and physical
pain) of Professor Nietzsche. I have often found myself unable to put it
down for some periods of time! Irvin Yalom, M.D. is a professor of psychiatry
at Stanford University.
