Samenvatting:

Thomas Wayne presents a fresh new translation of this classic that is a particular favorite of young adults confronting life s deepest questions and equally liberating for readers facing a mid-life crisis. Basil Creighton s 1929 version (revised in 1963 by Joseph Mileck) is the best-known version in English; it skips words, smoothes out long, involved passages, unnecessarily improves the text all things Thomas Wayne refuses to do. As with his already published translations of Nietzsche s Thus Spake Zarathustra, Ecce Homo, and The Antichrist, he emphasizes a strict adherence and reverence for the literal a Hesse for the 21st century, meaningful and faithful to the original.
