DESPRE „NIETZSCHE ȘI MAREA AMIAZĂ”

Nietzsche and the Great South, by Aura Christi, appeared in 2021 at the European Idea Publishing House, in a new, revised edition, prefaced by Nicolae Breban and with an afterword by Ștefan Borbely. It is a book about the anchor ideas of the great German philosopher of the late nineteenth century and an elite of writers who embraced his theories and illustrated them in remarkable literary works. Aura Christi is not afraid to love and know, analyzing and interpreting complex literary works from Romanian and universal literature, constellated around what the poet-hermeneut calls "the great ax", respectively the Living-Being-Ontos, in Nietzschean vision. Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Rainer Maria Rilke, Marcel Proust, Thomas Mann, Hermann Hesse, D.H. Lawrence, Oscar Wilde, Nicolae Breban, Robert Musil, Iris Murdoch are significant creative landmarks in a "subjective map of the Nietzscheans" who have in common the character-pillar-axis of writing, the hypostasis and the mask of the Living.
