When Nietzsche Wept

 

The book named 'When Nietzsche Wept' belongs to Irvın D. Yalom. I want to write about this book because it is my favarite book.(''Hope is the worst of all evils because it prolongs torture''. This sentence is my favorite sentence in the book.)   The book contains two philosopher. These are Friedrich Nietzche and Sigmund Freud. This book begins with Salome wants help for Nietzsche from the Breuer . Breuer is a very successful doctor, he has five children and a beautiful wife. Nietzsche is a philosopher nobody knows , he has only two published book, one suitcase and designed books in his opinion. Breuer accept Salome's offer because he want to see the girl again. Salome is a very charming woman. Nietzsche didn't know Salome talk with Breuer for him but Salome concinced to Nietzsche for going to the doctor. Nietzsche is very proud and he never accept help from anyone. Therefore, at first he didn't tell in his opinion and he didnot accept that he has mental problems. Nietzsche describe his body and soul  as two seperate parts so, he doesn't accept his bodily pains. Breuer's purpose is to show that the cause of his bodily pain is mental disorders. Nietzsche didn't want to tell something about hi special life and he decided to doesn't meeting with the doctor anymore. The while Breuer talk with Sig about Nietzsche . Essentialy, Sig is Sigmund Freud. Sig is Breuer's best friend and his student. Breuer always tell and ask something about his patients for improving Freud's practice and learning his opinions. One day, a man knock to Breuer's door and he say ' Nietzsche stay in my house and he is very sick' and he wants to help for Nietzsche from the doctor . Breuer was schocked because Nietzsche never want help to someone.
