Nietzsche, Friedrich; Harvey, Alexander (Translator) — Human All Too Human - A Book For Free Spirits

Very Good No dust jacket as issued Charles H. Kerr & Company Reprint "Nietzsche's first book in the aphoristic style that would come to dominate his writings, discussing a variety of concepts in short paragraphs or sayings. Highly influenced by Afrikan Spir's Thought and Reality and reacting against the pessimistic philosophy of Wagner and Schopenhauer." - Wikipedia. "[This book is] enlightening rather than a strict code; and it is also, for that reason, a little dark, in that it tells us what we perhaps don't want to know about ourselves, or at least admit.
