From: "Joachim Knop" <JKnop-AT-pmail.ccccd.edu> Date: Mon, 13 Apr 1998 09:46:08 -0500 Subject: Re: Nietzsche In Turin This is what I submitted as my review to Amazon. I liked the book. I also found it strange that she referred to GS as the "Science of Joy." If anything, it should probably be translated as "The Joyful Science." "Lesley Chamberlain does an excellent job describing Nietzsche's discovery of Turin. I particularly enjoyed her approach to writing this biography: trying to become a friend of Nietzsche, going to the places he loved, describing how his surroundings and lifestyle influenced his thoughts and works. It makes me wonder why some other biographers don't go through the same exercise. This biography is fluent in style, easy to follow, yet substantial in information. Lesley Chamberlain does not just describe the professor's life, but offers interpretations of his writings that he completed in Turin. The author always makes it clear where she describes her own interpretations. The more inquisitive reader will find the supporting evidence included in the endnotes extremely helpful. Overall, this biography is well researched and nicely written." > A new book came out called "Nietzsche in Turin", by Leslie Chamberlain (a > Brit). Did anyone else read it?
