Reading with Tragic Eyes

Meer over het boek

Exploring the philosophical implications of Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy, this book seeks to apply its concepts to literature, specifically examining José Saramago's O Evangelho Segundo Jesus Cristo and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. The author establishes a theoretical framework that incorporates Aristotle's Poetics and Schopenhauer's ideas, ultimately constructing a tragic perspective. This lens is then employed to analyze the selected works, aiming to bring Nietzsche's vision to life through literary interpretation and experimentation.
