The works of Friedrich Nietzsche have fascinated readers around the world ever since the publication of his first book more than a hundred years ago. As Walter Kaufmann one of the world's leading authorities on Nietzsche notes in his introduction "Few writers in any age were so full of ideas " and few writers have been so consistently misinterpreted. The Portable Nietzsche includes Kaufmann's definitive translations of the complete and unabridged texts of Nietzsche's four major works: Twilight of the Idols The Antichrist Nietzsche Contra Wagner and Thus Spoke Zarathustra. In addition Kaufmann brings together selections from his other books notes and letters to give a full picture of Nietzsche's development versatility and inexhaustibility. "In this volume one may very conveniently have a rich review of one of the most sensitive passionate and misunderstood writers in Western or any literature." --Newsweek
