Este texto fue escrito en 1938 por uno de los grandes pensadores del siglo XX. Muestra tanto la radicalidad con la que Nietzsche rechazó el cristianismo como las diversas declaraciones totalmente incompatibles con tal rechazo. Karl Jaspers interpreta esta contradicción diciendo que Nietzsche jamás llegó a asumir las ideas cristianas. Por lo tanto, tampoco tuvo necesidad de rechazar nada que previamente hubiera aceptado. Sin embargo, la fuerza de estos impulsos cristianos, aun despojados de contenido, sí que constituyó la base del pensamiento de Nietzsche hasta su filosofía tardía.

Charles is professionally narrated by Christopher Glyn, and it aims to provide those curious to know the contents of this cryptic and mysterious book with an enjoyable way to do so.

But like many Americans, she eventually felt drawn to genealogy, the "quintessential hobby of middle age". Her quest to know more about the Vikings and immigrants who perch in her family tree led her to visit Norse settlements and reenactments, medieval villages and modern museums, her picturesque hometown and her ancestor's farm on the fjords.
