Some parts of the book

THE WILL ΤΟ POWER
Nietzsche's notebooks, kept by him during his most produc- tive years, offer a fascinating glimpse into the workshop and mind of a great thinker, and compare favorably with the notebooks of Gide and Kafka, Camus and Wittgenstein. The Will to Power, compiled from the notebooks, is one of the most famous books of the past hundred years, but few have studied it. Here, at last, is the first critical edition in any language.
Down through the Nazi period The Will to Power was often mistakenly considered to be Nietzsche's crowning sys- tematic labor; since World War II it has frequently been denigrated, just as fallaciously, as being not worth reading. In fact, it represents a stunning selection from Nietzsche's notebooks, in a topical arrangement that enables the reader to find what Nietzsche wrote on nihilism, art, morality, re- ligion, the theory of knowledge, and whatever else inter- ested him. But no previous edition-even in the original German-shows which notes Nietzsche utilized subse- quently in his works, and which sections are not paralleled in the finished books. Nor has any previous edition furnished a commentary or index.
