Black Classic. Nietzsche's early classic of philosophy published in Penguin for the first time. Dedicated to Richard Wagner, this book is rich in Nietzsche's enthusiasms for Greek literature and especially tragedy, for Schopenhauer and Wagner's Tristan Und Isolde. Its central vision is the idea that only as an aesthetic phenomenon are existence and the world justified.
