In 1888, two of history's most enigmatic figures—Friedrich Nietzsche and Vincent van Gogh—were living in obscurity, driven by relentless creative ambition but haunted by loneliness, lovelessness, and impending madness. Their creative frenzies were strangely synchronized—both would enter intense periods of productivity at the same time, followed by bouts of illness and depression, until, at the year's end, they suffered psychotic breaks just days apart.This book delves into these uncanny convergences, tracing the philosopher's feverish literary output and the painter's transformative artistic breakthroughs. Through meticulous research and philosophical inquiry, it unveils the striking parallels between their lives.Written for those drawn to the intersection of philosophy, art, and history, this work blends meticulous research with cultural analysis, offering deep insights into two figures who would later redefine modern thought and aesthetics.

Brian Pines teaches Philosophy at the University of San Francisco, Mount Tamalpais College, and the College of Marin, all USA. He is the editor of Understanding Nietzsche, Understanding Modernism.
