Twilight of Idols and Anti-Christhttp://www.fishpond.co.nz/Books/Twilight-of-Idols-and-Anti-Christ-Friedrich-Wilhelm-Nietzsche-R-J-Hollingdale-Translated-by/9780140445145
'Twilight of the Idols', an attack on all the prevalent ideas of his time, offers a lightning tour of his whole philosophy. It also prepares the way for 'The Anti-Christ', a final assault on institutional Christianity. Both works show Nietzsche lashing out at self-deception, astounded at how often morality is based on vengefulness and resentment. Both reveal a profound understanding of human mean-spiritedness which still cannot destroy the underlying optimism of Nietzsche, the supreme affirmer among the great philosophers.
About the Author
Frederich Nietzsche was born in Leipzig in 1844, the son of a Lutheran clergyman. At the age of twenty-four he became the chair of classical philology at Basel University until his bad health forced him to retire in 1879. He divorced himself from society until his final collapse in 1899 when he became insane. He died in 1900. M. Tanner is Lecturer in Philosophy at Cambridge. R.J. Hollingdale has translated eleven of Nietzsche's books and published two books about him.

Reviews

Wow two books in one, and at such a good price. I strongly recommend this edition by Penguin. It is a very good price for its worth.
Twilight of the Idols, or, How to Philosophize with a Hammer is a very good and short introduction to his general work.
The Antichrist is also a very good read, the author writes about it that the reader "... must be honest in intellectual matters to the point of hardness to so much as endure my seriousness, my passion."
