A new translation with commentary by the eminent Princeton professor who has translated ten other books by Nietzsche. The epigrams, aphorisms, songs, and essays exemplify Nietzsche's puckish but disciplined style; many of the motifs of Nietzsche's thought -- the death of God, the eternal recurrence, Zarathustra, and the overman -- are represented.
