In Turin in 1889, Friedrich Nietzsche is witness to a brutal scene: a hansom cab driver whipping his stubborn horse. Nietzsche throws his arms around the animal’s neck, sobbing. Two days later he mutters his famous last words, spending the next decade silent and demented, cared for by his mother and sisters.
