The fight against madness. Gölderlin. CLUST. Nietzsche. Zweig S.

Stefan Zweig is a classic of Austrian literature, the author of magnificent psychological short stories and fictionalized biographies translated into all languages ​​of the world. “The fight against madness”, perhaps, is one of the most emotional, vivid and poetic books of Zweig, which gives portraits of three artists of the word that have finished their lives in “deadly intoxication of feelings”.

“not related to their era, not understood by their generation, flashing, like a meteorite, they rush at the night of their purpose. They themselves do not know about their path, about their mission, for their path is out of infinity and to infinity. ” Closely considering the life and work of Gölderlin, Kleist and Nietzsche, the author discovers something in their fate in their fate: a fatal demonic essence, which, endowing his wards with a magical gift of the word, at the same time gives rise to an irresistible craving for self -destruction.
