God is refuted, the devil is not. Who, if not Friedrich Nietzsche, embodies biting challenges, and who could blame the eloquent provocateur, visionary, and philosopher? He, who was sick, lonely, and impoverished throughout his life, understood humanity and held up a proverbial mirror to them, just as he did to himself. "It is bad taste to want to agree with the many," Nietzsche summarized, shocking his contemporaries and paying the price—with posthumous fame. Among the infamous aphorisms of this free spirit, including "The monkeys are too good-natured for man to be able to descend from them...", the artist Joe Villion created vivid and thought-provoking images for this bibliophile gift book.
