New to Penguin Classics, The Joyous Science is Nietzsche's most personal book - and one of his best.
Friedrich Nietzsche (Author)
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was born near Leipzig in 1844. When
he was only twenty-four he was appointed to the chair of classical
philology at Basel University. Works published in the 1880s include
The Gay Science, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, On
the Genealogy of Morals, Twilight of the Idols and The Antichrist.
In January 1889, Nietzsche collapsed on a street in Turin and was
subsequently institutionalized, spending the rest of his life in a
condition of mental and physical paralysis. Works published after
his death in 1900 include Will to Power, based on his notebooks,
and Ecce Homo, his autobiography.
