The Genealogy of Morals

Nietzsche's most mature work, written on the cusp of his descent into madness, The Genealogy of Morals became a prophetic foreshadowing of the 20th century. It offered a new way of looking at the world and morality, influencing philosophy, literature, and the arts, and ultimately becoming the guiding light of the avant-garde.

This work is beautified with the photography of Leander Marlowe. The reader is taken on a journey through the plains, valleys, and mountains of the soul as it makes its march to Bocklin's Isle of the Blessed.
