"Twilight of the Idols, which was written by Nietzsche (1844-1900) in 1888, the year before he went mad, briefly summarises his views on almost the whole range of his philosophical interests. It remarkably fulfilled his ambition to "say in 10 sentences what everyone else says in the book – what everyone else does not say in a book". The Anti-Christ, written immediately afterwards, if his longest and list restrained polemic against Christianity and Christian morals, and is expressed in his most vivid and forceful style." – From the rear panel blurb.
