On Nietzsche is basically a magazine that brilliantly mixes observations with ruminations in fragments, aphorisms, poems, myths, quotations, and pictures opposed to the history of global warfare II and the German profession. Bataille has a different manner of relocating breezily from abstraction to confession, and from theology to eroticism. He skillfully weaves jointly his personal inner adventure of suffering with the battle and destruction raging outdoor with arguments opposed to fascist interpretations of Nietzsche and compliment for the thinker as a prophet foretelling “the crude German fate.” With an creation, “Furiously Nietzschean,” through Sylvere Lotringer, an Appendix during which Bataille defends himself opposed to Sartre, and an Index, this quantity reconfirms Michel Foucault’s statement that Bataille, “broke with conventional narrative to inform us what hasn't ever been advised before.”
