Friedrich Nietzsche gilt bis heute als Spitze der philosophischen Nahrungskette. Sein umfassendes Werk deckt wissenschaftliche, künstlerische, philosophische und philologische Schriften ab. Nietzsche beeinflusste Maler, Literaten, Musiker, Wissenschaftler und Künstler aller sogenannten Genres und birgt nach wie vor gesellschaftliches Dynamit. Gerade wegen der Zeitlosigkeit und Aktualität seiner Schriften haben es keinerlei Gruppierungen jeglicher Art versäumt, sich schamlos an aus dem Zusammenhang gerissenen Formulierungen Nietzsches zu bedienen und auf ihre Fahnen zu schmieren.

These are the early letters, poems, ideas, thoughts of a writer in the very beginning. Figuring out life, attempting to make sense of the people around, and the environment which surrounds.

De 1985 à 1992, j'ai transcrit des scènes, des paroles, saisies dans le R.E.R., les hypermarchés, le centre commercial de la Ville Nouvelle, où je vis. Il me semble que je voulais ainsi retenir quelque chose de l'époque et des gens qu'on croise juste une fois, dont l'existence nous traverse en déclenchant du trouble, de la colère ou de la douleur. Annie Ernaux. Marianne Denicourt s'empare avec grâce de cette série d'instantanés urbains habilement saisis par Annie Ernaux.

Para los lectores, hay pocas experiencias tan asombrosas e inolvidables como la primera lectura de Kafka. No importa lo que uno haya leído antes: cruzarse con una de sus novelas o cuentos, con un fragmento de sus diarios, es aprender a leer de un modo nuevo. La prosa precisa y de resonancias alegóricas; la capacidad para urdir tramas perfectas donde la lógica de la pesadilla convive con el grotesco; el modo de narrar la inapelable arbitrariedad del poder; el don único de volver verosímil lo que en principio parece imposible de alcanzar ese estatuto.
