Nietzsche as Critic, Philosopher, Poet and Prophet - Paperback

by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (Author), Thomas Common (Translator), Thomas Common (Editor)

The Anthology Which First Introduced Nietzsche to the English-speaking World

Originally published in 1901, the result of several years of translation work by the very first generation of Nietzscheans in Britain and America, Nietzsche as Critic, Philosopher, Poet and Prophet is a comprehensive selection of Nietzsche's writings, from The Birth of Tragedy through to the final works of 1888. Arranged topically with reference to the original sources, the book still stands as one of the finest anthologies of Nietzsche's writing in English and a worthwhile introduction to his thought on a wide range of subjects. This new edition also includes an appreciation of the editor and translator Thomas Common, whose tireless work promoting and translating Nietzsche over nearly twenty years was instrumental in bringing him to a wider audience.
