A Heart-Wrenching and Necessary Tonic
Revisado: 09-06-21
This book, if read with an open heart and mind, will change you forever. The inhuman cruelty, stupidity and murder on such a massive scale, juxtaposed with the glimpses of heroism and the will for life and freedom, yield an accurate portayal of the potential for good or evil within human heart.

The most influential work of the entire Spanish literary canon and a founding work of modern Western literature, Don Quixote is also one of the greatest works ever written. Hugely entertaining but also moving at times, this episodic novel is built on the fantasy life of one Alonso Quixano, who lives with his niece and housekeeper in La Mancha. Quixano, obsessed by tales of knight errantry, renames himself ‘Don Quixote’ and with his faithful servant Sancho Panza, goes on a series of quests.

Untimely Considerations contain four essays: 'David Strauss - Writer and Confessor'; 'On the Use and Abuse of History for Life'; 'Schopenhauer as Educator'; and 'Richard Wagner at Bayreuth'. The essays date from the early part of Nietzsche’s life when his Romantic view on life and art was coloured by the powerful writings and personalities of such figures as Schopenhauer and Wagner - as the titles of two of the essays proclaim. Published between 1873 and 1876, they were presented under the umbrella title 'Unzeitgemässe Betrachtungen'.

What a treat to be able to listen to Nietzsche's Untimely Meditations! Strange that the essays were out of order, though, w Schopenhauer as Educator and History for Life switched.

Major let-down after The Power of Habit
Revisado: 07-28-17
The author completely abuses the reputation built up in his excellent book, The Power of Habit. He pretends he is going to provide strategies to become extremely productive and effective, but rehearsed story after story without a clear connection to everyday life, except for the very brief appendix.
The narrator is great, just like in The Power of Habit.
