› Find signed collectible books: 'The Birth of Tragedy'
Dedicated to Richard Wagner, The Birth of Tragedy is rich in Nietzche's current enthusiams for Greek literature and especially tragedy, for Schopenhauer and Wagner's Tristan and Isolde. Its central vision is the idea that "only as an aesthetic phenomenon are existence and the world justified." Making his celebrated distinction between the Apolline and the Dionysiac spirit, Nietzche presses us to consider why it is that we derive pleasure from tragic art, and what is the relationship between our experiences of suffering in life and in art. The Birth of Tragedy was his first book. Occasionally flawed and impetuous in argument, it is non the less a triumph of passionate energy and insight. [via]

In late 1888, only weeks before his final collapse into madness, nietzsche (1844 1900) set out to compose his autobiography, and ecce homo remains one of the most intriguing yet bizarre examples of the genre ever written. In this extraordinary work nietzsche traces his life, work and development as a philosopher, examines the heroes he has identified with, struggled against and then overcome schopenhauer, wagner, socrates, christ and predicts the cataclysmic impact of his forthcoming revelation of all values'. Both self-celebrating and self-mocking, penetrating and strange, ecce homo gives the final, definitive expression to nietzsche's main beliefs and is in every way his last testament [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Human, All Too Human : A Book for Free Spirits'
Written after Nietzsche had ended his friendship with Richard Wagner and had been forced to leave academic life through ill health, Human, All Too Human (1878) can be read as a monument to his personal crisis. It also marks the point when he matured as a philosopher, rejecting the German romanticism espoused by Wagner and Schopenhauer and instead returning to sources in the French Enlightenment. Here he sets out his unsettling views in a series of 638 stunning aphorisms - assessing subjects ranging from art to arrogance, boredom to passion, science to vanity and women to youth. This work also contains the seeds of concepts crucial to Nietzsche's later philosophy, such as the will to power and the need to transcend conventional Christian morality. The result is one of the cornerstones of his life's work. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book For Everyone And Nobody'
Nietzsche was one of the most revolutionary and subversive thinkers in Western philosophy, and "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" remains his most famous and influential work. It describes how the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from his solitude in the mountains to tell the world that God is dead and that the Superman, the human embodiment of divinity, is his successor. With blazing intensity and poetic brilliance, Nietzsche argues that the meaning of existence is not to be found in religious pieties or meek submission, but in an all-powerful life force: passionate, chaotic & free.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Twilight of the Idols and the Anti Christ'
'One must be superior to mankind in force, in loftiness of soulin contempt
In these two devastating works, Nietzsche offers a sustained and often vitriolic attack on the morality and the beliefs of his time, in particular those of Hegel, Kant and Schopenhaur. Twilight of the Idols is a grand declaration of war on reason, psychology and theology that combines highly charged personal attacks on his contemporaries with a lightning tour of his own philosophy. It also paves the way for The Anti-Christ, Nietzches final assault on institutional Christianity, in which he identifies himself with the Dionysian artist and confronts Christ; the only opponent he feels worthy of him.
In his introduction Michael Tanner discussed the themes of Nietzches argument and places the works in their historical and philosophical context.
