Who knows about Nietzsche's attempts on the typewriter or that his sister Elisabeth spent several years in the South American jungle? The traces Nietzsche left in literature are diverse: of course, first and foremost with his own works, but also indirectly - for example, through the transformation of the Übermensch into Superman in America, in the detective stories of Arthur Conan Doyle, or in the files of state security, from which "Sarah Tustra" spoke. The discussion also includes musicians, celestial bodies, pilgrimages, and horses. Thus, the facets of a person emerge, where life and spirit often intertwine - in a tragicomic and enlightening way.
