Corngold ( Lambent Traces, 2004, etc.), a noted interpreter and translator of the work of Franz Kafka, takes on Kaufmann’s books one after the other, “mainly keeping to one side the foreknowledge of what he was still to write.” The most influential of them was his first, in which Kaufmann, a German Jew, rehabilitated the reputation of Nietzsche, badly marred through association with Nazism. Walter Kaufmann (1921-1980) died too young, but not before having written numerous books that shifted the landscape of the humanities. Luminous biography of the noted philosopher and intellectual historian best known for his work on Friedrich Nietzsche.
