About this book
The contents list an essay on aristocratic radicalism and correspondence between Friedrich Nietzsche and George Brandes, with dates given as December 1899, August 1900 and 1909. The essay on aristocratic radicalism says that Friedrich Nietzsche appears to the writer the most interesting writer in German literature at the present time, and that, though little known even in his own country, he is a thinker of a high order who fully deserves to be studied, discussed, contested and mastered.
The essay says that during a period of eighteen years Nietzsche has written a long series of books and pamphlets, and that most of these volumes consist of aphorisms. The text says that Nietzsche does not desire war for the sake of a fantastic redemption of the world, but in order that manliness may not become extinct. The text sets Ibsen beside Nietzsche, saying that Ibsen and Nietzsche were both solitary and asking who was most isolated.
