Translated by Antony M. Ludovici. With an Introduction by Ray
Furness. The three works in this collection, all dating from
Nietzsche's last lucid months, show him at his most stimulating and
controversial: the portentous utterances of the prophet (together
with the ill-defined figure of the UEbermensch) are forsaken, as
wit, exuberance and dazzling insights predominate, forcing the
reader to face unpalatable insights and to rethink every commonly
accepted 'truth'. Thinking with Nietzsche, in Jaspers' words, means
holding one's own against him, and we are indeed refreshed and
challenged by the vortex of his thoughts, by concepts which test
and probe. In The Twilight of the Idols, The Antichrist, and Ecce
Homo Nietzsche writes at breakneck speed of his provenance, his
adversaries and his hopes for mankind; the books are largely
epigrammatic and aphoristic, allowing this poet-philosopher to
bewilder and fascinate us with their strangeness and their daring.
He who fights with monsters, Nietzsche once told us, should look to
it that he himself does not become one, and when you gaze long into
an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Reader, beware.

For the title of his autobiography, Nietzsche chose Pilate's words
upon discharging Christ to the mob: "Ecce Homo, "or "Behold the
man." The philosopher's dramatically egotistical review of his life
and works (featuring chapters called Why I Am So Wise and Why I
Write Such Excellent Books) transcends mere arrogance with its use
of masterful language to convey relevant ideas: the importance of
questioning traditional morality, establishing autonomy, and making
a commitment to creativity.
