Schaberg 32. <br /> <br />Written as a second sequel to Human All Too Human The Wanderer and his Shadow was first published in the year following Nietzsche’s departure from academia. Perhaps the title here is somewhat autobiographical reflecting Nietzsche and his shadow heading off into the wilderness of the unknown. Wanderer contains a series of aphorisms and was published on December 20 1890. It was received enthusiastically by Nietzsche’s friends though failed to sell more than 200 copies. Yet it was viewed by Nietzsche himself as a triumph. “In a letter to Schmeitzner written on December 18 Nietzsche remarks: "Der vollendete 'Wanderer' ist mir fast etwas Unglaubliches. Die ganze 'Menschlichkeit' mit den 2 Anhängen ist aus der Zeit der bittersten und anhaltendsten Schmerzen - und scheint mir doch ein Ding voller Gesundheit. Dies ist mein Triumph." The completed 'Wanderer' is to me something almost unbelievable. The entire 'humanity' with the 2 supplements is from a time of the most bitter and continual pains - and yet seems to me to be a thing full of health. This is my triumph”The Nietzsche Chronicle. <br /> <br />CONDITION: Very good to near fine in original front and rear wrappers. Spine restored with graphics to match the original. Interior crisp and bright. Housed in cloth-backed clamshell box. A gorgeous copy of this final installment of the Menschlisches three-book series. <br/><br/> Schmeitzner paperback
