En este libro de Nietzsche sentí, como en ningún otro suyo que haya leído, su más profunda naturaleza. Dos meses después de este libro, Frierdrich perdió por completo sus facultades.
Es una especie de biografía y cronología de su obra, una crítica propia de lo que pensaba entonces sobre lo que creyó antes. No recomiendo leerlo si no se conoce algo de su obra y pensamiento. Su consideración propia de grandeza e inteligencia suprema son absurdamente arrolladoras en Ecce Homo.
Mi reencuentro con el filósofo me deja ese amargor familiar, común, recurrente, de compartir más de lo que quisiera su pensamiento. Pero nunca todo. Hay mucho peligro en ciertas palabras y mucho desliz en un pensamiento que empieza a resultar medieval. El asunto es que Nietzsche nunca decepciona.

That’s it. It’s done. Over the span of three years, I have finished all twelve works that were published during, and shortly after (Ecce homo), Nietzsche’s lifetime. And the last two in two consecutive days.
I believe this bodes for a break in my perspective, and life activities. Perhaps, I had to finish this before I change my lifestyle. It is quite unfathomable how much confirmation, clarification and concert I have found in this philosophical and literary journey.
Now to find somebody that can buy me the Dutch translation of his 7-piece Nachlass, so I can start on my second Nietzschean journey — before, eventually, attempting to read him in the original German.
As to this work itself specifically, then; I feel like it is significantly more nuanced than the subtitles and stories about the work would have one presume. This man really understood himself, it is us who failed to understand not only him, but, most of all, ourselves.
From himself, he figured to understand human nature to a degree unprecedented.
My question at the end of my short reflections on Götzen-Dämmerung seems to have found an answer in this text.

He talks a lot in circles about his work here. But I did get a general feel for his work and I am interested in a few of his titles described. I enjoyed the excerpts of his other works he quoted and I will look forward to reading those.

When I was fifteen I read one of the Penguin "Great Ideas" mini-books, [b:Why I Am So Wise|83276|Why I Am So Wise (Great Ideas)|Friedrich Nietzsche|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1389301430s/83276.jpg|1109333], which excerpted parts of Ecce Homo. I really loved it then, as all self-centred fifteen-year-olds really love and relate to Nietzsche. It's quite a different experience reading it ten years later and in context and knowing a little more of Nietzsche, and I definitely didn't identify as much this time (and not just for the blatant misogyny and anti-feminism that pops up out of nowhere). I think even at fifteen I was cautious about the fact that the Great Ideas books were philosophy in palatable, bite-sized bits with the potential of losing quite a lot of information and context. To read it in full as a biography--a very strange biography--brought as much difference to my reading of it as ten years did. (Geobiographical note: this was another plane read because I still had some time before landing in Calgary and it's short.)
