In 1612, Shakespeare gave evidence in a court case at Westminster—and it is the only occasion on which his actual spoken words were recorded. In The Lodger Shakespeare, Charles Nicholl applies a powerful biographical magnifying glass to this fascinating but little-known episode in the Bard's life. Drawing on evidence from a wide variety of sources, Nicholl creates a compellingly detailed account of the circumstances in which Shakespeare lived and worked amid the bustle of early seventeenth-century London. This elegant, often unexpected exploration presents a new and original look at Shakespeare as he was writing such masterpieces as Othello, Measure for Measure, and King Lear.<

En esta obra, Friedrich Nietzsche muestra la necesidad de reformar, regenerar, el concepto de la verdad, la belleza y la moral. Subdividido en cuatro partes: Por qué soy tan sabio; Por qué soy yo tan inteligente; Por qué escribo libros tan buenos; Por qué soy yo un destino, Ecce horno es la obra más rica en sugerencias y en matices de este importante filósofo alemán, quien en estas páginas también describe a esa clase de hombre que se debe ser, más que la clase de vida que se debe llevar.<
