«El Anticristo: maldición sobre el cristianismo» is the essay by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Mateos Ediciones in paperback (127 pages, in Spanish).
Written with polemical intent, this essay examines Christianity as a religion that, according to Nietzsche, inverts the values of life and exalts impotence. The author reviews its birth, its historical development and its mark on the West, and concludes that it has acted as a force contrary to human health and vitality.
Classics of Always collection, number 13. Translation of the German original 'Der Antichrist' by Francisco Javier Carretero Moreno, with a preliminary study by Enrique López Castellón.
For those interested in Nietzsche's philosophy and in the essay of religious criticism.
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.
