In this historical fiction, in 1882 Josef Breuer, a physician who made discoveries in neurophysiology, meets philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The first is a renowned scientist in his mid-life crisis, the latter is a difficult to treat patient with a fabulous mind.
Their conversations are absolutely brilliant and set the bases for psychoanalysis at a time when Dr. Breuer's young friend Sigmund Freud is just a 25-year old medicine student.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra | Friedrich Nietzsche

I went to the recycling centre this morning. Always worth looking in the wheelie bin of books to see if someone is throwing away a gem. I gazed into this last bin in the line…and the bin gazed also into me!

Bookwomble "And if you contend against dustbins, beware that you do not yourself become a dustbin!" I used to have that edition, but it's long since gone - never read it ? Did you liberate it? 3mo

The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble No…as I shuffle towards the great library in the sky, I want to spend my remaining days reading for enjoyment🤣 3mo

Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja Ah, but maybe you should have taken that Vintage copy of Mervyn Peak's Gormenghast trilogy to read later this year 🧐 I would have left the Nietzsche (he's had his chance with me), but I'd have taken the copy of Six Yuan Plays at the back there. Somebody's dumping some good shit in that bin! 3mo

The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble there were 5 bins, filled to the top…I was overwhelmed ☺️ 3mo

Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja I'd be turning up with a shopping trolley! 😄 3mo

The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble there‘s a lot of crap in there and you have to move fast, they don‘t like salvaging in this centre..😳 I don‘t know if they‘re all like that. The Gormenghast had a badly creased cover. I don‘t mind a old, yellowing book but I can‘t be dealing with creased covers 3mo

Bookwomble Please ignore me - I don't always know when a joke's stopped being funny 🙃 3mo

The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble Ignore my Litsy twin! 🤣Don‘t worry..I‘ll assume it‘s all jokes unless you use an angry emoji😡 3mo

Existentialism From Dostoevsky To Sartre | Walter Kaufmann

Whew 😅…

I think philosophy is so tough for me because I‘m a consumptive reader; I‘m used to moving at a steady pace and when I dive into philosophy I‘m forced to slow down, to remind myself that these essays are not to be read once, but multiple times, to be discussed and dissected.

Anyway, despite its density, I‘m glad I read it. I‘ve had it for FOREVER having come across it in a library sale. It literally fell apart while reading it.

Al di l� del bene e del male: preludio d'una filosofia dell'avvenire | Friedrich Nietzsche

Libro pesante, impegnativo, che fa riflettere, forse anche troppo. Una soddisfazione arrivare fino alla fine e forse il libro più bello che mi letto. In qualche modo ti cambia.

“The free man is immoral, because it is his will to depend upon himself and not upon tradition: in all the primitive states of humanity 'evil' is equivalent to 'individual,' 'free,' 'arbitrary,' 'unaccustomed,' 'unforeseen,' 'incalculable.'“ ~Friedrich Nietzsche, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒘𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑫𝒂𝒚
