Turin

Piedmont bölgesinde şık bir şehir; Nietzsche 1888'de son aylarını burada geçirdi, çılgın bir hızla yazdı, ta ki bir ocak sabahı Piazza Carlo Alberto'da yıkılıp bir daha düzgün bir şey yazamayana dek.

Turin is an aristocratic Piedmontese city of long arcaded streets and the Alps visible at the end of every corridor. In the autumn of 1888, Nietzsche arrived and experienced his last months of clarity. He walked the streets exhilarated, ate well, wrote at extraordinary speed — five books in one year — and felt for the first time that he was healthy and understood. On January 3, 1889, he collapsed in the Piazza Carlo Alberto, threw his arms around the neck of a horse being beaten, and lost consciousness. He never produced a coherent sentence again. Turin is where the most productive and then the most terrible thing happened in Nietzsche's life, within five months.
