Not a convincing forgery, but interesting to see the attempt being made. ( )

Aunque tremendamente controversial...al leerlo, no queda menos que rendirse ante tánta grandeza. Una vez más Nietzsche no abre sus puertas y nos invita a entrar a los complicados y profundos recobecos de su pensamiento. ( )

The book is a forgery (not authored by Nietzsche, and not touched by Dr. Levy), and not a particularly good one at that. It begins with a statement from the publisher recounting the extraordinary circumstances under which the manuscript was supposedly delivered into his hands - how fellow wards at the asylum smuggled paper and pens to professor Nietzsche, how the manuscript was secretly carried from Europe to North America, and how the original manuscript was destroyed in a fire shortly after publication. He explains why none of Nietzsche's acquaintances ever mentioned the book and why publication had to wait until many years after the deaths of Elisabeth Nietzsche and Dr. Levy, essentially for "political" reasons. Of course, Dr. Levy's daughter publicly denounced this book as something Levy had never worked on, and there are numerous anachronisms in the text that give it away as a fake.
