Studiocomix Classics Collection – Twilight of the Idols

Written in just over a week, Twilight of the Idols (1888), was intended to serve as a short introduction to the whole of Nietzsche’s philosophy. In this book, Nietzsche criticizes German culture as decadent and nihilistic, as well as deriding key French, British, and Italian cultural figures. In contrast to all of these representatives of such “cultural decadence”, Nietzsche applauds Caesar, Napoleon, Goethe, and Thucydides. As incendiary as any of Nietzsche’s works, Twilight of the Idols is full of dangerous ideas. (ISBN: 978-099-399-8928)
