«100 Aforismos Sobre O Amor e A Morte» is a selection of aphorisms by Friedrich Nietzsche in paperback (Portuguese).
Nietzsche's aphorisms, brief numbered sections he adopted from the French moralists, cover themes such as philosophy, morality, religion, literature, or society. From that extensive corpus, this work brings together one hundred texts on two universal matters: the need to love and the awareness of death.
Published by Penguin & Companhia das Letras on November 14, 2012; selection and translation by Paulo César de Souza; part of the Grandes Ideias collection.
It can serve as an introduction to Nietzsche's thought for philosophy readers, due to its brief format and its two universal thematic axes.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher and writer who started his career as a classical philologist and turned to philosophy early in his academic career. In 1869, at age 24, he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. Plagued by health problems for most of his life, he resigned from the university in 1879. He afterward lived as an independent writer, spending much of his life in relative solitude and financial insecurity while moving between Switzerland, Italy, and southern France in search of climates that might alleviate his condition, and in the following decade, he completed much of his core writing. In 1889, aged 44, he suffered a neurological collapse, and thereafter a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and vascular dementia; he lived out his remaining 11 years, first under the care of his mother, and later his sister, until his death. His works and his philosophy have fostered not only extensive scholarship but also much popular interest.
