Sue Prideaux's 2018 biography of Nietzsche — widely regarded as the best one-volume English biography — which places Nietzsche's philosophy in its biographical and historical context and narrates his final descent into madness with clarity and sympathy.
Provides the best accessible biographical account of Nietzsche's life — from his Basel professorship through his friendships with Wagner and Rée, his lonely wandering years in Nice and Sils-Maria, and his collapse in Turin — making the biographical context available without reducing the philosophy to the biography.
