Human, All Too Human (1878) marks the point where Nietzsche abandons German romanticism for the French Enlightenment. At a moment of crisis in his life (no longer a friend of Richard Wagner, forced to leave academic life through ill health), he sets out his views in a scintillating and bewildering series of aphorisms which contain the seeds of his later philosophy (e.g. the will to power, the need to transcend conventional Christian morality). The result is one of the cornerstones of his life's work. It well deserves its subtitle ?A Book for Free Spirits?, and its original dedication to Voltaire, whose project of radical enlightenment here finds a new champion.
Beyond Good and Evil (1886) is a scathing and powerful critique of philosophy, religion and science. Here Nietzsche presents us with problems and challenges that are as troubling as they are inspiring, while at the same time outlining the virtues, ideas, and practices which will characterise the philosophy of the future. Relentless, energetic, tirelessly probing, he both determines that philosophy's agenda and is himself the embodiment of the type of thought he wants to foster.

Anna Karenina is one of the most loved and memorable heroines of literature. Her overwhelming charm dominates a novel of unparalleled richness and density. Tolstoy considered this book to be his first real attempt at a novel form, and it addresses the very nature of society at all levels of destiny, death, human relationships and the irreconcilable contradictions of existence. It ends tragically, and there is much that evokes despair, yet set beside this is an abounding joy in life's many ephemeral pleasures, and a profusion of comic relief.
Russia in the 1840s. There is a stranger in town, and he is behaving oddly. The unctuous Pavel Chichikov goes around the local estates buying up 'dead souls'. These are the papers relating to serfs who have died since the last census, but who remain on the record and still attract a tax demand. Chichikov is willing to relieve their owners of the tax burden by buying the titles for a song. What he does not say is that he then proposes to take out a huge mortgage against these fictitious citizens and buy himself a nice estate in Eastern Russia. Will he get away with it? Who will rumble him? Does this narrative contain a deeper message about Russia itself or the spiritual health of humanity? There is much interest and some suspense in considering these issues, but the real pleasure of this st...
One of the great classics of western literature, Les Misérables is a magisterial work which is rich in both character portrayal and meticulous historical description. Characters such as the absurdly criminalised Valjean, the street urchin Gavroche, the rascal Thenardier, the implacable detective Javert, and the pitiful figure of the prostitute Fantine and her daughter Cosette, have entered the pantheon of literary dramatis personae. The reader is also treated to the unforgettable descriptions of the Battle of Waterloo and Valjean?s flight through the Paris sewers.
Bleak House is one of Dickens' finest achievements, establishing his reputation as a serious and mature novelist, as well as a brilliant comic writer. It is at once a complex mystery story that fully engages the reader in the work of detection, and an unforgettable indictment of an indifferent society. Its representations of a great city's underworld, and of the law's corruption and delay, draw upon the author's personal knowledge and experience. But it is his symbolic art that projects these things in a vision that embraces black comedy, cosmic farce, and tragic ruin. In a unique creative experiment, Dickens divides the narrative between his heroine, Esther Summerson, who is psychologically interesting in her own right, and an unnamed narrator whose perspective both complements and challe...
Introduction and Notes by Deborah Parsons, University of Birmingham. „I am writing to a rhythm and not to a plot”, Virginia Woolf stated of her eighth novel, The Waves. Widely regarded as one of her greatest and most original works, it conveys the rhythms of life in synchrony with the cycle of nature and the passage of time. Six children – Bernard, Susan, Rhoda, Neville, Jinny and Louis – meet in a garden close to the sea, their voices sounding over the constant echo of the waves that roll back and forth from the shore. The subsequent continuity of these six main characters, as they develop from childhood to maturity and follow different passions and ambitions, is interspersed with interludes from the timeless and unifying chorus of nature. In pure stream-of-consciousness style, Wo...

Democracy in America is a classic of political philosophy. Hailed by John Stuart Mill and Horace Greely as the finest book ever written on the nature of democracy, it continues to be an influential text on both sides of the Atlantic, above all in the emerging democracies of Eastern Europe. De Tocqueville examines the structures, institutions and operation of democracy, and shows how Europe can learn from American success and failures. His central theme is the advancement of the rule of the people, but he also predicts that slavery will bring about the 'most horrible of civil wars', foresees that the USA and Russia will be the Superpowers of the twentieth century, and is 150 years ahead of his time in his views on the position and importance of women.
Since its first publication in 1651, Thomas Hobbes?s Leviathan has been recognised as one of the most compelling, and most controversial, works of political philosophy written in English. Forged in the crucible of the civil and religious warfare of the mid-seventeenth century, it proposes a political theory that combines an unequivocal commitment to natural human liberty with the conviction that the sovereign power of government must be exercised absolutely. Leviathan begins from some shockingly naturalistic starting-points: an analysis of human nature as being motivated by vain-glory and pride, and a vision of religion as simply the fear of invisible powers made up by the mind. Yet from these deliberately unpromising elements, Hobbes constructs with unparalleled forcefulness an elaborate,...
Translated by J.J. Graham, revised by F.N. Maude Abridged and with an Introduction by Louise Willmot. On War is perhaps the greatest book ever written about war. Carl von Clausewitz, a Prussian soldier, had witnessed at first hand the immense destructive power of the French Revolutionary armies which swept across Europe between 1792 and 1815. His response was to write a comprehensive text covering every aspect of warfare. On War is both a philosophical and practical work in which Clausewitz defines the essential nature of war, debates the qualities of the great commander, assesses the relative strengths of defensive and offensive warfare, and - in highly controversial passages - considers the relationship between war and politics. His arguments are illustrated with vivid examples drawn fr...

Tako rzecze Zaratustra to najczęściej czytane i tłumaczone dzieło niemieckiego filozofa Friedricha Nietzschego. Jego wysokie walory literackie sprawiły, że zyskało popularność również poza środowiskiem akademickim. Utwór wyróżnia się oryginalnym stylem i językiem, a także bogatą i niejasną symboliką. Jest opisywany jako epopeja filozoficzna i składa się z czterech części, z których każda powstawała w zaledwie 10 dni. W Tako rzecze Zaratustra można znaleźć najbardziej znane motywy twórczości Nietzschego: chrześcijańsko-humanistyczny konflikt dobra ze złem oraz krytykę kultury i dotychczasowego systemu wartości, motyw woli mocy, ideę wiecznego powrotu czy w końcu utopijną ideę nadczłowieka jako określenie ideału indywidualnej osobowości.
W "Jutrzence Nietzsche" przeprowadza zasadniczą krytykę dotychczasowej moralności, dotychczasowych stosunków społecznych, dotychczasowej kultury. Jak pisze B.A.G. Fuller ażeby uwolnić ludzkość, nim będzie za późno, od zwyrodnienia do jakiego doprowadził chrześcijański, a w szczególności teutońsko-chrześcijański pogląd na życie i sposób życia, potrzebna jest nieodzownie radykalna rewolucja duchowa i, co za tym idzie, moralna i społeczna. Jutrzenka tę rewolucję zapowiada.
Friedrich Nietzsche to wybitny niemiecki filozof, jeden z najbardziej inspirujących myślicieli XIX w. Twórca oryginalnej koncepcji filozoficznej, która wywarła ogromny wpływ na międzywojenna sztukę i literaturę, powojenny egzystencjalizm oraz postmodernizm.

Masie wydaje się, że dla większości ludzi wykształcenie jest jedynie środkiem uzyskania ziemskiego szczęścia przez bardzo nielicznych: „możliwie upowszechnione wykształcenie” osłabia to wykształcenie tak bardzo, że nie może już ono zapewniać żadnych przywilejów i żadnego respektu. Wykształcenie w pełni upowszechnione jest barbarzyństwem.
Wędrowiec i jego cień
Tom 10, tak jak pozostałe tomy notatek Nietzschego, ukazuje jego intelektualny warsztat, zawiera luźny materiał przygotowawczy, stanowiący w znacznej podstawę dzieł opublikowanych (w jego przypadku przede wszystkim Zaratustry), a więc zapisywane na gorąco, często podczas spacerów, myśli, pomysły, sentencje, relacje z lektur, dłuższe fragmenty teoretyczne i poetyckie. Jednakże tom ten, i na tym polega jego szczególna wartość, wraz z tomem 9 dokumentuje proces narodzin późnej, dojrzałej filozofii Nietzschego, którą przedstawił on najpierw w poetycko-epickim obrazowaniu Zaratustry (materiał z tomu 10 dotyczy trzech jego pierwszych części), by następnie, w swych dziełach późniejszych, poddać je pracy pojęciowo-teoretycznej; tom niniejszy ukazuje jej natężone...
