One hundred years after his death, Friedrich Nietzsche remains the most influential philosopher of the modern era. *Basic Writings of Nietzsche* gathers the complete texts of five of Nietzsche’s most important works, from his first book to his last: *The Birth of Tragedy, Beyond Good and Evil, On the Genealogy of Morals, The Case of Wagner,* and *Ecce Homo*. Edited and translated by the great Nietzsche scholar Walter Kaufmann, this volume also features seventy-five aphorisms, selections from Nietzsche’s correspondence, and variants from drafts for *Ecce Homo*. It is a definitive guide to the full range of Nietzsche’s thought.
