The Portable Nietzsche, the Viking Portable Library

When Nietzsche died in 1900 he was world-famous, an influencte on the most diverse minds of his own generation, and destined to exert a unique fascination on those of succeeding generations. His impact has been as manifold as his prose, and most interpreters have fastened on a single strain that has caused Nietsche's philosophical thought to be distorted more than that of probably any other philosopher. The present volume aims to remedy that situation by presenting as much as possible of the complete Nietzsche. It contains the full and unabridged texts of four of his major works, and selections from his other books, notes, and letters to round out the picture of his development, his versatility, his inexhaustibiity. In this volume, one may very conveniently have a rich review of one of the most sensititive, passionate, and misunderstood writers in Western, or any, literature.
