In late 1888, only weeks before his final collapse into madness, Nietzsche (1844-1900) set out to compose his autobiography, and Ecce Homo remains one of the most intriguing yet bizarre examples of the genre ever written. In this extraordinary work Nietzsche traces his life, work and development as a philosopher, examines the heroes he has identified with, struggled against and then overcome - Schopenhauer, Wagner, Socrates, Christ - and predicts the cataclysmic impact of his 'forthcoming revelation of all values'. Both self-celebrating and self-mocking, penetrating and strange, Ecce Homo gives the final, definitive expression to Nietzsche's main beliefs and is in every way his last testament.

This is the first Nietzsche prose work Ive read in full, and I found it extremely thought provoking. The man is a force of nature, and every sentence of this autobiography is replete with his genius and intensity. Not having read any of his other major works, I wasnt able to appreciate the chapters where he discusses his writings. Nonetheless, many passages resonated deeply with me, and were the cause for much self-reflection. The book is rather short (around 100 pages), but full of insights and inspiration.
