In den Briefen, abgeschickt u.a. aus Turin, Nizza, Sils Maria, an seine Mutter, seine Schwester, an Freunde wie den Komponisten Peter Gast, an Kollegen wie den Historiker Jakob Burkhard oder den ersten Professor, der in Kopenhagen eine Nietzsche-Vorlesung gehalten hat, Brandes, zeigt sich der Philosoph Nietzsche von einer sehr privaten Seite, berichtet von Begegnungen und dem täglichen Leben, meist bekümmert über seinen schlechten Gesundheitszustand, aber mehr noch ernüchtert, erbost zuweilen, traurig gestimmt, dass eine intellektuelle Resonanz auf sein Werk mit einer Ausnahme so gut wie gar nicht zu erkennen ist.
