A perceptive introduction to the mind of one of German's greatest writers, in a new translation for the first time in 150 years 'The best German book there is' Nietzsche By the turn of the nineteenth century, the poet, novelist and thinker Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was one of the most famous people in the world.
