Scholars have claimed to detect signs of insanity in Friedrich Nietzsche's last work, Ecce Homo because of its extremely immodest titles such as "why I am so clever", " "Why I am so Wise", " Why I write such excellent books" and "Why I am destiny". However, scholars now associate these titles and the general tone of the book with self-irony, rather than insanity. However, Nietzsche wrote a letter to his friend Franz Overbeck on January 6, 1889, after his collapse in Turin where he talked about wanting to murder all anti-Semites. He wrote a letter to another friend, Jacob Burckhardt, referring to himself as God. These letters so troubled both friends that Overbeck had to travel to Turin to see Nietzsche and take him to a nursing home in Basel, Switzerland. From there Nietzsche was taken to an asylum in Jena, Germany.
