Complete and unabridged, with 99 full-page plates by Joos de Momper the Younger, Hermann Ottomar Herzog and Christian Rohlfs. Nietzsche against the philosophers: their systems are confessions, their morality is a herd's, and the will to truth is a will to power in a starched collar. He published it himself in 1886 after his publisher refused it, and sold barely a hundred copies in its first year. The two hundred and ninety-six numbered sections are meant to be read out of order, and one whole chapter of them is epigrams. Ninety-nine plates of mountain, lake and bridge, from Joos de Momper the Younger to Hermann Ottomar Herzog, give these aphorisms the cold air and high ground they were written in.
