Kaufmann and Egypt

Wow, I did not know this… Never having known why Kaufmann died so young (before age 60), I looked it up, and found a bit of an Egyptian connection:

“In August 1980, Walter became ill in Egypt. At first it did not seem severe enough to him to change his travel plans, which included a Conference in Nairobi, Kenya, followed by a tour to a few of his favorite places in Europe, first of all Sils Maria, where they still show the house in which Nietzsche liked to stay.”

Perhaps it was the curse of Zamalek.
