Why I Am So Wise

Written in 1888 but not published until 1908, Why I Am So Wise is Nietzsche's singular autobiography, which sets out the story of his life in bizarre and provocative fashion yet remains key to an understanding of his work. A timeless classic, which has inspired many writers and artists, including Thomas Mann, Hermann Hesse, Albert Camus, Salvador Dali and Jean-Paul Sartre.

Includes an Introduction explaining Nietzsche's life and times and the thinking behind this text.
