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.
