Why I Am So Wise (Arcturus Pocket Wisdom)

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Written in 1888 but not published until 1908, Why I Am So Wise is Nietzsche's singular autobiography, which sets out the story of his life in bizarre and provocative fashion yet remains key to an understanding of his work. A timeless classic, which has inspired many writers and artists, including Thomas Mann, Hermann Hesse, Albert Camus, Salvador Dali and Jean-Paul Sartre.

This handsome gift edition includes a dust jacket, two-colour illustrations, a ribbon marker, and an introduction explaining Nietzsche's life and times and the thinking behind this text.

ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Pocket Wisdom brings together elegant pocket hardback editions of essential works of philosophy from the Western and Eastern cannon. Each using classic translations, they are elegantly presented with handsome dust jackets, two-colour illustrations and ribbon markers.
