Synopsis
في مدينة تورينو عام ١٨٨٩، عانق نيتشه عنق حصانٍ مُنهَكٍ ثم فقد عقله. وفي مكانٍ ما في الريف: مزارعٌ وابنتُه وعربةٌ والحصانُ العجوز.
In Turin on 3rd January, 1889, Friedrich Nietzsche steps out of the doorway of number six, Via Carlo Alberto. Not far from him, the driver of a hansom cab is having trouble with a stubborn horse. Despite all his urging, the horse refuses to move, whereupon the driver loses his patience and takes his whip to it. Nietzsche comes up to the throng and puts an end to the brutal scene, throwing his arms around the horse’s neck, sobbing. His landlord takes him home, he lies motionless and silent for two days on a divan until he mutters the obligatory last words, and lives for another ten years, silent and demented, cared for by his mother and sisters. We do not know what happened to the horse.
À Turin, en 1889, Nietzsche enlaça un cheval d'attelage épuisé puis perdit la raison. Quelque part, dans la campagne : un fermier, sa fille, une charrette et le vieux cheval. Dehors le vent se lève.
