A Signed First Edition.A beautiful copy signed by the author on the title page in blue ink. Here Schaberg presents a detailed publication history and biography of Nietzsche as author and an equally comprehensive annotated bibliography of his work. He describes how and why Nietzsche's books were written, when and by whom they were published, and how many copies were printed and sold - a story set against the background of publishing practices of nineteenth-century Germany. Schaberg establishes a genealogy of Nietzsche's works and clarifies the relationships between those works, an understanding of which is essential to any informed opinion of his philosophy.Included here for the first time in any language is an extensive account of Nietzsche's finances and his relationships with his publishers. Schaberg reveals a man who was obsessed with money, fought bitterly with his publishers, complained about his readers, and all the while continued to produce more and more books that went unread. He also reveals the influential role of Nietzsche's sister Elizabeth, who provoked disputes between Nietzsche and his publisher during her brother's lifetime and deliberately falsified information after his death. Publisher's original dust jacket which shows just a bit of age-toning but is otherwise fine. Over publisher's original black cloth with silver lettering to the spine. Boldly signed by the author on the title page just above his name. Clean, bright and tight. As near fine a copy as one might ever hope to find. ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
