This volume contains a selection of Nietzsche's brilliant and
challenging aphorisms, examining the pleasures of revenge, the
falsity of pity, and the incompatibility of marriage with the
philosophical life. Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for
Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge
range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the
world and across many centuries. They take us from a balloon ride
over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra
del Fuego to 16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Here
are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays
satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives
of millions.
