In 1888, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche moved to Turin. This would be the year in which he wrote three of his greatest works: "Twilight of the Idols", "The Antichrist", and "Ecce Homo". It would also be his last year of writing, as he suffered a severe mental breakdown in the early days of the following year.

In this profound and elegant biography of this defining year, Lesley Chamberlain dismantles popular clichés and misconceptions about Nietzsche, offering a deeply nuanced approach to his character and work. Focusing equally on his daily habits, concerns, and insecurities, as well as the development of his philosophy, "Nietzsche in Turin" provides a uniquely vivid portrait of the great thinker, along with the productive days preceding his decline.
