About This Item
New York: Robert O. Ballou Book. Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. (1932), viii, 294pp, index. G in poor, badly worn, lightly stained dj, with several open tears, contents G. From the dj: "To most persons the name "Nietzsche" connotes an abstract philosophy composed of pessimism, fatalism, a certain hardbitten disregard for the ordinarily accepted humanities. In SON OF THE MORNING Edward J. O'Brien has written a warm, human story, a story of the man Nietzsche, of a sensitive and deeply religious childhood, and of a defense mechanism which Nietzsche set up to shield him from the pain of living. He tells, as completely as possible, for the first time much of the story of Nietzsche's unrequited love for Cosima Wagner and its tragic ending, and shows how it permanently influenced his philosophy and changed the history of European thought.".
