Paolo D'Iorio is director of the Institut des textes et manuscrits modernes at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique at the École normale supérieure in Paris. His work on Nietzsche includes publications on the concept of eternal return in both its philosophical and cosmological aspects and on the significance of pre-Platonic philosophy for Nietzsche's thought. He is general editor of Nietzsche Source and contributes to the French and Italian editions of Nietzsche's complete works. Sylvia Mae Gorelick is a freelance translator and poet.
"Although this account of Nietzsche's travels is confined to the
time he was in Sorrento, it is valuable for tracing the
philosopher's intellectual thought. . . . D'Iorio includes many
illustrations, pictures, and excerpts from Nietzsche's actual
notebooks, which add authenticity to this portrait of Nietzsche as
traveler, engaging friend, and philosopher. This is a pleasant,
instructive read. Recommended."
