Reading with Tragic Eyes

Mehr zum Buch

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.
