Friedrich Nietzsche 
Twilight of the Idols (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading.


 
Never one to back away from controversy,
Friedrich Nietzsche assails the Christian Church in
Twilight of the Idols.  In this classic work, he sets out to substitute the morality of the Catholic and the Protestant Churches with that of Dionysian morality. 
Twilight of the Idols furthermore lays the foundation for key arguments that Nietzsche more fully develops in later writings.

Sobre o autor

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was born in the village of Röcken in Saxony on October 15, 1844. Nietzsche, whose father was a Lutheran pastor, spent a year as a theology student at the University of Bonn, before studying classical philology at the University of Leipzig. Despite poor health and desperate loneliness, Nietzsche managed to produce a book (or a book-length supplement to an earlier publication) every year from 1878 to 1887. In early January 1889, he collapsed in the street in Turin, Italy, confused and incoherent. He spent the last eleven years of his life institutionalized or under the care of his family.
