"Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking."
- Albert Einstein
(1879 - 1955)

| |  | | | From The Publisher
The Birth of Tragedy (1872) was Nietzsche's first book. Its youthful faults were exposed by Nietzsche in the brilliant "Attempt at a Self-Criticism" which he added to the new edition of 1886. But the book, whatever its excesses, remains one of the most relevant statements on tragedy ever penned. It exploded the conception of Greek culture that was prevalent down through the Victorian era, and it sounded themes developed in the twentieth century by classicists, existentialists, psychoanalysts, and others.
The Case of Wagner (1888) was one Nietzsche's last books, and his wittiest. In attitude and style it is diametrically opposed to The Birth of Tragedy. Both works transcend their ostensible subjects and deal with art and culture, as well as the problems of the modern age generally.
Each book in itself gives us an inadequate idea of its author; together, they furnish a striking image of Nietzsche's thought. The distinguished new translations by Walter Kaufmann superbly reflect in English Nietzsche's idiom and the vitality of his style. Professor Kaufmann has also furnished running footnote commentaries, relevant passages from Nietzsche's correspondence, a bibliography, and, for the first time in any edition, an extensive index to each book.

Nietzsche's first and last great books sound the themes that remain at the heart of present day philosophical and cultural debates and dilemmas.

The Birth of Nietzsche
-- Jerad James Yarborough, a 21-year old poet/musician from CA, April 30, 2001
Also Recommended: I also recommend Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra and Antonin Artaud's The Theatre And It's Double.

Tragedy considered as a synthesis of the turbulent Dionysian and serene Apollonian elements in Greek culture, and Socrates as the embodiment of a perverse rationalism that killed it off
