What makes for an exhilarating read? Usually a gripping plot, magnificent writing, and well-drawn characters. There are, however, a few special books that are exhilarating because the author captures brilliant ideas and unprecedented insights with such vividness and immediacy that the reader is equally inspired. This is one of them. The Birth of Tragedy is an important contribution to the history of ideas. It is also crucial to understanding the development of Nietzsche’s thought. Yet the main reason it remains a thrilling experience for general readers is that Nietzsche’s live-wire prose conveys the excitement of intellectual discovery, affording them an electrifying sense of what it’s like to contemplate a subject from a revolutionary angle, to grasp its complexities in a way no one previously has.
