Reconfiguring Nietzsche’s seminal impact on modernist literature and culture, this book presents a distinctive new reading of modernism by exploring his sustained philosophical engagement with nihilism and its inextricable tie to pain and sickness. Arguing that modernist texts dramatize the frailty of the ill, the impotent, and the traumatised modern subject unable to render suffering significant through traditional religious means, it uses the Nietzschean diagnoses of nihilism and what he calls 'ressentiment', the entwined feelings of powerlessness and vindictiveness, as heuristic tools to remap the fictional landscapes of Lawrence, Kafka, and Beckett. Lucid, authoritative and accessible, this book will appeal internationally to literature and philosophy scholars and undergraduates as well as to readers in medical and sociological fields.

In "Beyond Good and Evil" Nietzsche accuses past philosophers of lacking critical sense and blindly accepting dogmatic premises in their consideration of morality. The work moves into the realm "beyond good and evil" in the sense of leaving behind the traditional morality which Nietzsche subjects to a destructive critique in favour of what he regards as an affirmative approach. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a German philosopher, cultural critic, poet, philologist, and Latin and Greek scholar whose work has exerted a profound influence on Western philosophy and modern intellectual history. Because of Nietzsche's evocative style and provocative ideas, his philosophy generates passionate reactions. His works remain controversial, due to varying interpretations and misinterpretations of his work. In the Western philosophy tradition, Nietzsche's writings have been described as the unique case of free revolutionary thought, that is, revolutionary in its structure and problems, although not tied to any revolutionary project Helen Zimmern (1846–1934) was naturalised British writer and translator born in Germany. She was instrumental in making European culture more accessible in English.

In "Beyond Good and Evil," (original German: Jenseits von Gut und Böse) Nietzsche expands on the ideas introduced in "Thus Spake Zarathustra," offering a more detailed critique of traditional morality and philosophy. He challenges the dichotomy of good and evil, arguing for a more nuanced understanding of morality that transcends these simplistic categories. The book is a critical examination of the prejudices and assumptions underlying Western thought, calling for a reevaluation of values and the embrace of a more dynamic, perspectival approach to truth and knowledge. First published in 1886 by the publishing house C. G. Naumann in Leipzig, Germany, this is a new 2024 translation from this original 1886 German manuscript contains a new Afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Nietzsche's life and works, an index with descriptions of his core concepts and summaries of his complete body of works. This new 2024 translation from the original German, Latin and Greek manuscript contains a new Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Nietzsche's life and works, an index with descriptions of his core concepts and summaries of his complete body of works. This translation is designed to allow the armchair philosopher to engage deeply with Nietzsche's works without having to be a full-time Academic. The language is modern and clean, with simplified sentence structures and diction to make Nietzsche's complex language and arguments as accessible as possible. This Reader's Edition also contains extra material that amplifies the manuscript with autobiographical, historical and linguistic context. This provides the reader a holistic view of this very enigmatic philosopher as both an introduction and an exploration of Nietzsche's works; from his general understanding of his philosophic project to an exploration of the depths of his metaphysics and unique contributions. This edition contains: • An Afterword by the Translator on the history, impact and intellectual legacy of Nietzsche • Translation notes on the original German, Latin and Greek manuscript • An index of Philosophical concepts used by Nietzsche with a focus on Existentialism and Phenomenology • A chronological list of Nietzsche's entire body of works • A detailed timeline of Nietzsche's life and works • An excerpt from Nietzsche's 1889 Ecce Homo as an addendum, where he reflects upon his intentions behind Ecce Homo, only a year before his untimely death. For Nietzsche, "Beyond Good and Evil" was the prehistoric (or pre-Socratic) way of thinking in which actions were judged by their effects. Morality emerged only when actions were judged according to their intentions - especially in the "slave morality" of early Christianity. Nietzsche's demand was to return to the perspective of the pre-moral era; his counter-proposal is a new philosophy of "immorality" bound to the particular perspective of the individual, which was wholeheartedly embraced by the Nazi regime and several other genocidal movements of the 20th century. The Übermench must have unfettered dominion over all things, and must not be hindered by the "weak".

A new reader's edition of Nietzsche's early 1862 essay. This 2024 translation by Tim Newcomb from the original German & Latin manuscript contains a new Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Nietzsche's life and works, an index with descriptions of his core concepts and summaries of his complete body of works. The translation is designed to allow the armchair to engage deeply with Nietzsche's works without having to be a full-time Academic. The language is modern and clean, with simplified sentence structures and diction to make Nietzsche's complex language and arguments as accessible as possible. This short essay by Nietzsche is on the Roman concept of "Fatum", which literally means "what has been spoken" and from which the English word "Fate" comes. This is connected to the Greek Spirit called Μόρος or Moros, which drives morals towards death, and shows people their death. The Roman version of the Greek deity Moros was called Fatum. Nietzsche delineates the difference between Fate and the deity-spirit Fatum as: "Free will appears as the unbounded, the arbitrary; it is the infinitely free, the roaming, the spirit. Fatum, however, is a necessity if we are not to believe that world history is a dream, that the unspeakable travails of humanity are imaginary, that we ourselves are the playthings of our fantasies. Fatum is the infinite power of resistance to free will; free will without Fatum is just as inconceivable as spirit without real good without evil. For it is the contrast that makes the quality." Originally titled "Fatum und Geschichte", this was first published in 1862 when he was studying in Pforta. This was published in the journal edited by R.W. Emerson titled "Die Führung des Lebens. Gedanken und Studien" in Leipzig in 1862. This Reader's Edition also contains extra material that amplifies the manuscript with autobiographical, historical and linguistic context. This provides the reader a holistic view of this very enigmatic philosopher as both an introduction and an exploration of Nietzsche's works; from his general understanding of his philosophic project to an exploration of the depths of his metaphysics and unique contributions. This edition contains: • An Afterword by the Translator on the history, impact and intellectual legacy of Nietzsche • Translation notes on the original German manuscript • An index of Philosophical concepts used by Nietzsche with a focus on Existentialism and Phenomenology • A complete chronological list of Nietzsche's entire body of works • A detailed timeline of Nietzsche's life journey

"Untimely Reflections" (Original German manuscript: Unzeitgemäße Betrachtungen) is a collection of four essays in which Nietzsche critiques various aspects of contemporary culture and society, including education, history, and nationalism. He calls for a break from the conventional attitudes and values, urging individuals to think independently and embrace a more "real" way of life. These essays were part of Nietzsche's critique of German culture at the time, targeting various figures and cultural perspectives prevalent during his era: 1. "David Strauss: The Confessor and the Writer" (1873) - Nietzsche criticizes the German culture of his time, especially the writer David Strauss and his book "The Old and the New Faith: A Confession." This essay was Nietzsche's response to what he saw as the superficial and complacent nature of German intellectual culture after the Franco-Prussian War. 2. "On the Use and Abuse of History for Life" (1874) - This essay discusses the problem of historical knowledge and its relationship to the health and vitality of human life. Nietzsche argues that an excessive historical consciousness, which he sees as prevalent among his contemporaries, paralyzes living culture and its creative power. 3. "Schopenhauer as Educator" (1874) - Nietzsche articulates his admiration for Arthur Schopenhauer and presents him as a model for revitalizing the German cultural landscape. This essay reflects Nietzsche's reflections on the role of great individuals in the cultivation of culture. 4. "Richard Wagner in Bayreuth" (1876) - This essay is an analysis and celebration of Richard Wagner, whom Nietzsche deeply admired at the time. It examines Wagner's cultural significance and his efforts to revive German culture through his Bayreuth Festival. These four essays, first published separately, were published by Nietzsche as "Untimely Reflections" together as a collection in 1876. This included all four essays that Nietzsche had written between 1873 and 1876, gathered under the series titled "Unzeitgemäße Betrachtungen". This is a new 2024 translation from this original 1876 (first published in 1896) German manuscript containing a new Afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Nietzsche's life and works, an index with descriptions of his core concepts and summaries of his complete body of works.

A journal from his earliest years, this is a wistful, deeply nostalgic commentary on his earliest memories, his memories of going to church, encountering music (sometimes published as a separate work "On Music"), and his large family. It is openly theistic, romantic in style, and reminiscent of the Goethe-Schiller age in which the young Nietzsche grew up. In 1858, he wrote an addendum titled "looking back", which is included here. These journals were first published in the volume "Gesammelte Werke" edited by Peter Gast (a pseudonym for Heinrich Köselitz, a close associate of Nietzsche) and Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche (Nietzsche's sister). They were included in the second series of these collected works under the title "Philologica," which was published in 1897 and several editions after that. This was part of the effort to compile and publish Nietzsche's unpublished manuscripts and lecture notes after his death. This new 2024 translation from the original German manuscript contains a new Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Nietzsche's life and works, an index with descriptions of his core concepts and summaries of his complete body of works. This translation is designed to allow the armchair philosopher to engage deeply with Nietzsche's works without having to be a full-time Academic.

Known for his critiques of traditional European morality and religion, Nietzsche's ideas on the "will to power" and the "Übermensch" have influenced a wide range of philosophical, literary, and psychological thought including thinkers such as Michael Foucault and the entire Postmodern religion.

"We Philologists" is a reflection on the study of classical philology, the field in which Nietzsche was trained and spent many years within. He critiques the narrowness and pedantry of contemporary philological scholarship, calling for a more dynamic and creative approach to the study of ancient cultures. This essay reveals Nietzsche's disillusionment with academia and his desire for a more holistic and life-affirming engagement with the classical tradition. Nietzsche's "We Philologists" was written in 1874, but remained unpublished during his lifetime. It was first published in 1909 as part of a compilation of Nietzsche's works edited by Ernst Holzer and published by C. G. Naumann. This posthumous publication included various notes and fragments from Nietzsche's notebooks, which were intended to form a more comprehensive critique of philology. This was a series of publications by Nietzsche's sister, Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, along with other scholars, who worked on publishing manuscripts from his estate that were never made public. They were then re-published in various formats after that -including in a series titled "Gesammelte Werke" (Collected Works), later reorganized and expanded into the "Gesamtausgabe" (Complete Edition), which included comprehensive collections of Nietzsche's notebooks and other writings from various periods of his life. This new 2024 translation from the original German, Latin and Greek manuscript contains a new Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Nietzsche's life and works, an index with descriptions of his core concepts and summaries of his complete body of works.
