Nietzsche and Modernism

Exploring the intersection of nihilism, pain, and modernist literature, this book offers a fresh interpretation of how modernist texts reflect the struggles of the vulnerable and traumatized. By applying Nietzsche's concepts of nihilism and 'ressentiment,' it reexamines the works of authors like Lawrence, Kafka, and Beckett, highlighting their portrayal of suffering in a world devoid of traditional religious meaning. The accessible writing style makes it suitable for scholars, students, and readers in medical and sociological disciplines alike.
