Nietzsche, Friedrich - Signed Album Page 1877

German philosopher (1844-1900), critic and philologist, who had a wide and deep impact on modern intellectual history. 

Rare autographed album page, signed during his famous stay in Italy in 1876-77. Trying to recover from his health problems, Nietzsche took a long vacation/work time in Sorrento, in Southern Italy, from late October 1876 through early May 1877. He was not alone, 3 friends were sharing the same rented house, called Villa Rubinacci: his close friend, German writer and physician Paul Rée (1849-1901), his friend the German writer Malwida von Meysenburg (1816-1903), and young law student and aspirant novelist Albert Brenner. This long stay in Italy included reading and discussions on Philosophy with his friends, resting and walking, touring, and of course, writing works.

It was during this very important period in Italy that Nietzsche started writing the content for his book "Human All Too Human", which would be published in 1879.

Album page handwritten and signed by him, "Treulich der Ihre" (faithfully from your), full signature Friedrich Nietzsche, dated by him in Villa Rubinacci in February 1877. Size is 6.9 x 3.4 inches, irregular top border since this page was taken from an album, minor rust stains, in overall very good condition.

Autographs of Friedrich Nietzsche are extremely rare and highly desirable, so this is a great chance to get one, from a very important period in his life, at a bargain price.
