A philospher may not be an obvious subject for a coffee-table book, but The
Good European: Nietzsche’s Work Sites in Word and Image by David Farrell Krell
and Donald L. Bates fills this diminutive niche with some credit. Copious if
unilluminating pictures break up the dense text and there are masses of fiery
quotations from the man himself. Published by University of Chicago Press,
£37.95, ISBN 0226452786.
