Publisher's summary

This collection of Friedrich Nietzsche’s most famous works contains Beyond Good and Evil, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Human, All Too Human, and The Antichrist.

Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future is a work that further explores the ideas in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, with a more critical and polemical approach. In Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche accuses past philosophers of lacking critical sense and blindly accepting dogmatic premises in their consideration of morality.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a philosophical novel dealing with ideas such as the "eternal recurrence of the same", the parable on the "death of God", and the "prophecy" of the Übermensch.

Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits examines a variety of concepts in short paragraphs or sayings.

In The Antichrist, Nietzsche attacks Christianity, contending that pity has a depressive effect, is harmful to life, and preserves that which should naturally be destroyed. For a noble morality, pity is a weakness, but for Christianity, it is a virtue.

The reading is pretty terrible

I'm actually going to buy a different version. I got this because of the combo but they have a nasaly William Shatner impersonator reading this.

Excellent book, garbage reading,

The narrator has such strange and misleading inflections that it often feels like he doesn’t understand the sentence that’s coming out of his own mouth. He also most pronounced a word every three minutes. No audiobook narrator has ever bothered me this much, which is a tragedy because I find the text totally fascinating and inspirational. I found myself getting lost until the end of a paragraph when the fullness of context revealed that a crucial word was so awkwardly stressed that it completely obscured the authors meaning. For example, the word “attribute” is read with stress on the second syllable as it’s verb form, rather than as a noun like it was intended.

Great book, but get a different version.

Great collection for the price, but start listening, you’ll find out why.

Very poorly recorded - very quiet in comparison to all other recordings. And very poorly read, too. Sorry, but Nietzsche cannot be read as if it’s a story about a teenager’s struggles with first year of High School.
Lesson: don’t be cheap!
