Volume three of the first collected edition of Nietzsche’s works presents the appendix [Anhang] to Human, All Too Human and Wanderer and His Shadow [a third part of the three-part Human All Too Human] (first published in 1879 [anhang] and 1880 [Wanderer], here in its fourth edition).

The present work was conceived as an addendum (“Anhang”) to the previous book and it continues Nietzsche’s incisive observations and evaluations on any number of topics, once again presented in the famous aphoristic style that characterizes these works of Nietzsche’s middle period, the works for “free spirits.” A second sequel to Human All Too Human, The Wanderer and his Shadow was published in the year following Nietzsche’s departure from academia. The title is perhaps autobiographical, reflecting Nietzsche and his shadow heading off into the wilderness of the unknown. This third of Nietzsche's ‘aphoristic volumes,’ continues his appeal to the "free spirits" of Europe.
