Beschreibung:
Nietzsche's philosophy - at once revolutionary, erudite and deep - reaches into different spheres of the arts. His first book, "The Birth of Tragedy", presents us with an inquiry into the existential meaning of Greek tragedy. This book offers an account of the text and explores the philosophical, literary and historical influences bearing upon it.
