Nietzsche: The Man Everyone Quotes and Nobody Reads

His face is on mugs, T-shirts and gym posters, and his lines are tattooed on forearms. But read the page those lines came from and most of them mean something else, and some mean the opposite. This animated history tells the life of Friedrich Nietzsche: the pastor's son named after the King of Prussia, the professor at twenty-four, the friendship and break with Richard Wagner, the sick wanderer of Sils-Maria, Lou Salomé and the famous whip photo, the madman who announced that God is dead, Thus Spoke Zarathustra and the overman, the abyss that gazes back, the collapse in Turin and the horse legend, and the sister who forged his letters and dressed him up as a Nazi prophet. Every famous quote is shown twice: as quoted, and as written. Where a story is legend rather than record, the video says so.
