Review & Description

A new edition by Lexido of Nietzsche's last work incorporating material that was suppressed by Nietzsche's sister and is not present in the original Ludovici version. This edition has furthermore completely overhauled the Ludovici version, providing an entirely new, thoroughly revised, completely reformatted edition of the text.

"I know my fate.  There will come a day when my name will recall the memory of something frightful, a crisis the like of which has never been known on earth..." Nietzsche's autobiography Ecce Homo was written in 1888 and completed just a few weeks before Nietzsche's complete mental collapse. It is a startling self-evaluation, taking in Nietzsche's life, works and aims as well as a savage critique of the decadence of contemporary culture and leading figures.  The at times almost strident tone is taken by some as a symptom of the coming madness.  However, lovers of Nietzsche's work will find that he never wrote better, with more passion and wit than in this, his final work.A new edition by Lexido of Nietzsche's last work incorporating material that was suppressed by Nietzsche's sister and is not present in the original Ludovici version.
