Sue Prideaux's biography of Nietzsche presents a fascinating and well-researched picture of the great philosopher. Prideaux strikes the right balance of focus on both Nietzsche's life and work, and does an excellent job of humanizing Nietzsche. Nietzsche is a philosopher for whom biography is particularly important (ironically he claimed that all philosophy was biography) and this is an excellent resource for learning about his life and philosophy. Prideaux's book provides a sketch of Nietzsche's life, and does a very good job of not focusing overly much on any particular portion of his life.
