Why I am so clever

Written in 1888 but not published until 1908 Why I Am So Clever is Nietzsche’s singular autobiography which sets out the story of his life in bizarre and provocative fashion yet remains key to an understanding of work. Why I Am So Wise is Nietzsche’s last great work. In January 1889 he began his descent into madness when he is said to have been found in tears in a Turin street with his arms around a horse that had been beaten by its master.
