Points clés
The Tailor, the Maestro, and the Making of a Prophet
A nervous twenty-four-year-old scholar scrambles through the rain, fresh from a heated argument with a tailor over an unpaid suit. His destination? A meeting with Richard Wagner, the most electrifying composer of the age. When Friedrich Nietzsche finally arrived at that drawing room in 1868, soaked and flustered, Wagner played passages from Die Meistersinger and spoke passionately about Schopenhauer. The evening ended with Wagner's warm invitation to "make music and talk philosophy"-and Nietzsche left in a state of indescribable elation. This encounter would ignite a relationship that shaped modern thought itself. Today, Nietzsche's fingerprints are everywhere: Freud's unconscious, Foucault's power dynamics, even our casual declarations that "God is dead." Yet the man behind these seismic ideas spent much of his life in obscurity, pain, and eventual madness-a prophet unheard in his own time.
