| Summary | "The Life of Friedrich Nietzsche" by Daniel Halévy is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work provides a biographical examination of the influential philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, covering various stages of his life, including his childhood, youth, and key relationships. Halévy aims to portray Nietzsche not just as a thinker, but to explore the formative experiences that shaped his philosophical insights and literary contributions. The opening of the book introduces Nietzsche's early life, starting with the background of his father, Karl-Ludwig Nietzsche, a Lutheran pastor. It recounts the family's struggles following the father's tragic death, which left a profound impact on young Friedrich. The narrative paints a picture of a boy marked by both the sorrow of his losses and the potential marked by his intellect and creativity. The text sets the stage for Nietzsche’s complex personality, blending moments of innocence with the shadows of existential questioning, which will reappear throughout his life and work.

His most popular book, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, proposed ideas like the Übermensch or "Superman" who would replace God in the absence of religious meaning. Nietzsche believed that traditional values had lost power and the Superman would be a creator of new values through strength, independence, and creativity. He cited historical figures like Socrates, Jesus, and Napoleon as examples of those who overcame traditional human limits.

Α. Μ. KLEIN A, kLTHOUGH KLEIN WAS ACTIVELY INVOLVED in the Zionist movement in Canada, 3 his poetry did not, for the most part, deal directly with the horror confronting the European Jew in the 1930's and 40's. Instead, he appeared to retreat in many of his poems to the Middle Ages and the archaisms of the King James Bible. Denunciation was distanced by time and diction, and was thus, some critics claim, made less effective. 4 It is perhaps that E. J. Pratt's review of The Hitleriad, Klein's violent satiric attack on Hitler, was favourable, not because of its poetic expertise, 5 but because The subject has pulled the threnodist away from the wall of lamentation and placed the satirist in a colosseum with a grenade in his hand and a good round curse on his lips. 6 10 This exploitation of the origins, the etymologies, of words also appears in The Rocking Chair in Klein's unilingual poems.

He also edited Canadian Jewish Chronicle from 1939-1955 in which time he became a prominent spokesman for Canadian Jews. 4 Louis Dudek raises what may be the most extreme of the critical objections to Klein's use of archaism : "this language experiment The text is a preface
