About the book: 2016 / Lou Andreas-Salomé (1861–1937) - one of the most mysterious women of the end of the millennium. The author of the acclaimed treatise “Erotika”, she inspired Nietzsche to create his “Zarathustra”, swung the pendulum of early Rilke’s creativity, and turned out to be an ideal interlocutor for the mature Freud. “The Sibyl of our spiritual world,” according to some, “a greedy sponge, eager for the radiant hedgehogs of the era,” according to others, Lou Salome “seemed to be testing the elasticity of the boundary between the masculine and feminine... She bravely directed her fate, but the shadow of her fatal soul homelessness followed on her heels.” Who is she? Who were Nietzsche, Rilke and Freud for her? She will tell you about this herself..
