Sword of the Spirit

Více o knize

Commissioned by the Third Reich, this collection of aphorisms by Friedrich Nietzsche was intended as a motivational offering to Wehrmacht soldiers during WWII. Original copies remain in Germany, often found in homes and antique bookstores, while those sent to the front lines faced destruction from bullets, bombs, or were burned for warmth. The book reflects the tumultuous historical context of its creation and the impact of war on literature and philosophy.
