In 1886, Frederich Nietzsche self-published Beyond Good and Evil . Structured into 296 separate sections, and nine parts, this work deconstructs the metaphysics and dogma established by previous philosophers. Nietzsche traced the roots of issues that he viewed hindered mankind in his society. He spoke about what it means to be a free spirit, the prejudice of philosophers, and begins questioning traditional morality. On the Genealogy of Morals was published a year later in 1887. Influenced by Fyodor Dostoevsky and Soren Kierkegaard, the book consisted of three overlapping essays. It follows the evolution of morals and the moral prejudices of Christianity and Judaism. In this book, Nietzsche goes into the history of values and why we’ve put so much emphasis these values. In his treatises, Nietzsche delves into the origin of good and evil, guilt, bad conscience, resentment, and how these parts of the human condition have evolved over time. Review: Perhaps the Eternal Nietzsche Would Be Better - There are numerous volumes with the same name. This one has two of Nietzsche's works, "Beyond Good and Evil" and "The Genealogy of Morals". The other volumes have excerpts of numerous works. and dates back many decades. This book with two complete works is a good one. Nietzsche is not an easy read and perhaps having the full title may make more sense in the reading. The price was good and was the packaging and delivery. It is a good addition to my library in philosophy and theology...Bill Review: Great work of philosophy - Surprisingly heavy, but that’s probably the density of wisdom :) in addition to the quality materials used to make the book. Definitely illuminating as expected from Nietzsche

Great high-quality book
The book is of a very good quality. The sheets are very thick and the font is very nice. The only flaw is that it is very poor on comments and most of the Latin terminology is not translated, which makes it hard to read for a person which is unfamiliar with it. The German phrases and idioms are translated, though, well - at least that. Overall a nice book, of a good quality.

Very engaging and informative.
Yes, these three books met my expectations, the sentences, paragraphs and vocabularies are thoughtfully chosen by the these authors and profoundly written. Reading through, keep you thinking and thinking, thinking. The writing style in these books are quite different from many new authorship, nowadays. I will recommend them to any intellectual.
