Story
In On the Genealogy of Morals, subtitled "A Polemic", Nietzsche furthers his pursuit of a clarity that is less tainted by imposed prejudices. He looks at the way attitudes towards 'morality' evolved and the way congenital ideas of morality were heavily colored by the Judaic and Christian traditions.

Nietzsche never recovered from his mental breakdown in 1889 and therefore was unable to further any plans he had for the ‘magnum opus’ he had once intended, bringing together in a coherent whole his mature philosophy. It was left to his close friend Heinrich Köselitz and his sister Elizabeth Förster-Nietzsche to go through the remaining notebooks and unpublished writings, choosing sections of particular interest to produce The Will to Power, giving it the subtitle An Attempted Transvaluation of All Values.

Story
Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche's position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects traditional Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche seeks to demonstrate that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a 'slave morality'. With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual impose their own 'will to power' upon the world.

Continuing where Thus Spoke Zarathustra left off, Nietzsche's controversial work Beyond Good and Evil is one of the most influential philosophical texts of the 19th century and one of the most controversial works of ideology ever written. Attacking the notion of morality as nothing more than institutionalised weakness, Nietzsche criticises past philosophers for their unquestioning acceptance of moral precepts. Nietzsche tried to formulate what he called "the philosophy of the future".

One of Nietzsche’s earliest works, The Birth of Tragedy (1872) is a remarkable source of inspiration. It is here that the philosopher expresses his frustration with the contemporary world and urges man to embrace Dionysian energy once more. He refutes European culture since the time of Socrates, arguing that it is one-sidedly Apollonian and prevents man from living in optimistic harmony with the sufferings of life.

His wonderfully fertile mind roams over mankind, his thoughts, his emotions, his behaviour and his weaknesses with remarkable clarity, with insight - but also with humour!In this work are 383 separate paragraphs, some short, some long, but all singular observations - the epitome of his famous aphoristic style. 'Morality is the herd instinct in the individual.'

In this fascinating document, one of Japan's best known - and controversial - writers created what might be termed a new literary form. It is new because it combines elements of many existing types of writing, yet in the end, fits into none of them. The road Mishima took to salvation is a highly personal one. Yet here, ultimately, one detects the unmistakable tones of a self transcending the particular and attaining to a poetic vision of the universal.

Schopenhauer was just 30 when his magnum opus, Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung, a work of considerable learning and innovation of thought, first appeared in 1818.
Much to his chagrin and puzzlement (so convinced was he of its merits), it didn't have an immediate effect on European philosophy, views and culture. It was only decades later that it was recognised as one of the major intellectual landmarks of the 19th century.

A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps of Meaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.

The Antichrist was aptly named. It is not so much aimed at the expression of any new perspective or in support of the expansion of knowledge but rather represents an effort to undo the religious interference Nietzsche believed worked against the advancement of culture and knowledge. In many ways he was the mouthpiece for the most unfavorable logical conclusions that rose to the fore in the meeting of the scientific and Christian perspective.

Publisher's Summary
Thus Spoke Zarathustra is one of the most extraordinary - and important - texts in Western philosophy. It was written by Friedrich Nietzsche between 1883 and 1885. He cast it in the form of a novel in the hope that his urgent message of the 'death of God' and the rise of the superman (Ubermensch) would have greater emotional as well as intellectual impact.
Though tarnished somewhat by inappropriate adoption by the Nazi movement in the mid-20th century, Zarathustra remains an immensely important and influential work, particularly as it exhorts the individual to question standard conventions of society in order to pursue a truly ethical and spiritual path.
After 10 years in solitude in the mountains, Zarathustra decides it is time to return to the world so that people can benefit from the fruits of his pondering: 'I would like to bestow and distribute, until the wise have once more become joyous in their folly, and the poor happy in their riches.'
Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a challenging text, but once encountered and absorbed, it cannot be forgotten for both its content and style.

A Great Book and Exceptional Reading
This is Nietzsche's greatest work appealing to the ordinary man and non-philosopher as well as one of my most favorite works for its depth and passion. A must for any lover of excellent literature. It would have been easily a five star rating overall, except for the text of an old translation (one of the first in English) by Thomas Common. Newer translations, and there are many, are more flowing and readable but the main conceptions are still intact. Most definitely a must buy for anyone interested in some of the greatest writing and philosophical concepts of our times. Highly recommended.

Perhaps reading it would be better....
Struggled to finish the book. At first it had captured my interest and I was keen to learn about Nietzsche's philosophy but at times it just left like rambling lectures on many tooics. there were definitely great nuggets of wisdom and moments upon which to reflect on, but I feel like it was the English translation that made it a chore to follow. I've read that in it's original language there is a lot of metaphors and wordplay, that maybe was lost on me.

Excellent
This is a very well done reading of an important book. In the first place, it gives you everything you want from a philosophical audiobook -- it presents a crisp, elegant reading of the material. But I think more importantly and more interestingly it relies on an interpretation of the tone of the book which I have not encountered anywhere else. The narrator eschews the standard bombastic reading of the prose for a far more nuanced, subtle and theatrical reading. I can see how some people might not like that, since it's a fairly unorthodox approach to the tone of the book, but this certainly challenged my previous feelings about the rhythm of the prose (thus also Nietzsche's intent) which is really, I think, a special accomplishment for a philosophical audiobook.

the way to understand these parables is to already be a person orreason, truth and knowing. the ubermensch. even then not all the parables will make sense immediately. but many will relate to what you already know. listen to this book over and over with your understanding of the world. that's how to understand this book.

Dense, and possibly need to re-listen
The narrator was brilliant, and made the audiobook worthwhile.
Nietzsche has so many gems splattered around, but you have to have patience as Zarathustra would remark - superfluous one!
Definitely not an easy, philosophical read.
It’s ok at times to not be comprehending every sentence, when you can understand the overall themes and the wisdom pearls when Zarathustra speaks!

Best Narration of this book thus far!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, if you've ever wondered if the prose of this book could ever been properly and well delivered. Then this is it! Christopher Oxford gives maximum effort and does a magnificent job of really paying attention to the text and appears to fully appreciate and understand it. This culminates in a listening experience that is enjoyable and helps get across some of the nuances of the text. I don't believe this has been as well as this before. If you want to hear this book with a different perspective on delivery - then look no further and get this version without hesitation!

Phenomenal rendition
For the purest expression of Nietzsche, it stands to reason its original German would yield the finest results. And yet this comes nothing short of extraordinary, Christopher Oxford truly understood the scriptures, and even for a long time fanatic, this was a new experience altogether. Such a wonderful achievement, could not come more highly recommended.

19th Century Trolling
There will always be crusaders wielding contemptuous sarcasm and cynicism to destroy established ideas. As Nietzsche was an intellectual juggernaut and influential historical contributor to this sort of thinking, his attacks are worth becoming familiar with.
Unfortunately, I did not find this book as accessible as 'Beyond Good and Evil'. The style is too poetic and ambiguous. When it seems like he's finally winding up to a point, he says 'Thus spoke Zarathustra' and I'm left shrugging. I would be surprised if anyone could understand all the content without listening to it twice and constantly replaying segments, and I am unwilling to do either.
It could be helpful to supplement with clearly articulated interpretations by modern philosophers rather than relying solely on this source material.
A bit of conceptual destruction and recreation is healthy to avoid stagnation, but Nietzsche is almost all destruction; he doesn't offer much besides 'power' to fill the vacuum left behind in his wake. For example, the arguments around power as the great virtue are creepily reminiscent of Lavayan Satanism or the power = truth dystopias described by Orwell.

A lot of the spider and not enough of the bee
Neitzche advises rejecting the creation and gives us a superman who is more like Zod. Powerful...yes, but all destruction without creation. Anyone can destroy. It is an act of desperation, not contemplation. Arrogant and difficult to learn from. The best thing that can be said is that he advises us to reject superstition and to question authority. It’s quite sad to hear his yearning for eternity in a world where he values nothing except power. Even the Eagle that he thinly claims to love is a barren symbol in that it’s nobility is not expanded upon except for its remoteness from the world and its freedom from company.
Despite his low regard for us shopkeepers and householders he nevertheless tries to sell a product...but unfortunately it’s a selfish one, like a gold backscratcher. Does he like Mozart? With his intellect he may have unearthed and fashioned a superman like that but instead decided to be so esoteric and spiteful that he didn’t create one superman beyond himself, and, like Wilde’s Remarkable Rocket, his genius blazed friendless in a field, in a day that was like a starless night.
