Basic Writings of Nietzsche (Modern Library)
A collection of Walter Kauffman's masterful translations of five of Nietzsche's greatest works:The Birth of Tragedy, which forever changed assumptions about Greek culture and the nature of tragedy;Beyond Good and Evil, as comprehensive an overview of Nietzsche's thought as the delightfully aphoristicThus Spake Zarathustra, but stated with considerably greater clarity;On the Geneaology of Morals, his major work on ethics;The Case of Wagner, a surprisingly witty piece written after Nietzsche's break with Richard Wagner; andEcce Homo, Nietzsche's passionate and beautiful analysis of his life and work.
