The Brandes essay was recommended to me when I was younger as a kind of introduction to Nietzsche and it serves that purpose very well.
Any ‘introduction to Nietzsche’ written in the past hundred years is invariably sullied by some political prejudice or another. Brandes wrote before Nietzsche’s ideas had “entered the world” so to speak and the reader benefits immensely by that timing.
Ahhhh it took me so many days but I finally finished it. Thank you so much for posting this here, and the other stuff on your Substack that I shall now proceed to.
