    An accessible and informative study of the life and work of this vaunted German philosopher. In this concise yet comprehensive critical biography, Ritchie Robertson examines the work of Friedrich Nietzsche within the context of his life. The book traces Nietzsche's development from outstanding classical scholar to cultural critic, who measured Imperial Germany by the standards of ancient Greece. It follows him on his path from a prophet (in the persona of Zarathustra) to a savage polemicist against modern liberal values, offering a "philosophy of the future." Robertson argues that Nietzsche's middle-period writings offer a subtle and searching analysis of his culture, more rewarding than the strident and often-controversial later works. The book also assesses Nietzsche's claim to be continuing the Enlightenment and shows that he valued reason, evidence, and fact, without which his historical case against Christianity would make no sense.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) gehört zu den einflussreichsten Schriftstellern des 20. Jahrhunderts. Zu Lebzeiten veröffentliche er nur eine Hand voll Erzählungen, darunter seine bekannteste, „Die Verwandlung". Die Romane „Der Prozess", „Das Schloss" und „Der Verschollene" erschienen erst nach seinem Tod. Sie begründeten Kafkas Weltruhm als seismographischen Interpreten der Moderne. Der englische Kafka-Spezialist Ritchie Robertson erhellt beides: Kafkas krisengeschütteltes Leben und die Raffiniertheit seiner oft rätselhaft anmutenden Texte. Er zeigt anschaulich, wie Kafka die charakteristischen Themen der modernen Welt - Körper, Macht und Religion - erkundet. Sein lebendiges Porträt weist neue Wege zu einem besseren Verständnis von Kafkas Lebens- und Vorstellungswelt.
