I am not a man, I am dynamite – Friedrich Nietzsche x Ecce Homo

Ecce Homo is an autobiography like no other. Deliberately provocative, Nietzsche subverts the conventions of the genre and pushes his philosophical positions to combative extremes, constructing a hero-genius whose life is a chronicle of incessant self-transcendence. Written in 1888, just weeks before his descent into madness, the book reviews all of Nietzsche's earlier works so that we, his "posthumous" readers, can finally understand him, on his own terms. He comes to the final settlement with his many enemies, including Richard Wagner, German nationalism, “modern men” in general and especially Christianity, proclaiming itself the Antichrist. Ecce Homo is the summary of an extraordinary philosophical career, a last great testimony to Nietzsche's will.
