Features: In this book, Nietzsche weaves his arguments with his sister and Lou Salomé as the warp, particularly the latter being more extensive, covering topics such as social thought, history, perspectives, music, and legal issues. Of course, the "mad" Nietzsche was bound to be more arrogant, which is why he famously said, "I have written enough about this world; now let this world write about me." Whether mad or arrogant, one must read it to judge. The manuscript, smuggled out of a psychiatric hospital, was the last autobiography of Nietzsche to see the light of day a century later! Boldly written, it reveals the ambiguous relationship between Nietzsche and his sister Elizabeth, the woman who entangled him throughout his youth and adolescence. To force the censored autobiography Look! Here I Am to be unbanned, Nietzsche wrote a more shocking manuscript—My Sister and I—but it was never published in his lifetime. When the English translation of My Sister and I was published in New York, the publisher was under siege by the "Crime Prevention Association," and the fate of the manuscript was once again lost. Even the long-dead Nietzsche never saw his last diary published in his lifetime.
