It was with Human, All Too Human, first published in 1878, that Nietzsche developed the aphoristic style that so suited his challenging views and uncompromising style. The text is divided into three main sections 'Of the First and Last Things', 'History of the Moral Feelings' and 'The Religious Life'. But the style remains the same he declares the subjects - dream and civilisation; private ethics and world ethics; gratitude and revenge; well-wishing; vanity - and then discusses them in a few sentences or sometimes in a longer passage. This style enables him to cover an extraordinarily wide range of topics as his fertile and lively mind wander over man in his element.
This audiobook also contains the two parts of volume II 'Miscellaneous Maxims' and 'The Wanderer and His Shadow'. These two collections are less well known - unjustly so, as they are packed with Nietzsche's wonderfully uncompromising views and observation on a lucky dip of topics including debauchery, bach, danger in admiration, deception in love and dishonest praise.
Here is an example 'End and goal. Not every end is the goal. The end of a melody is not its goal, and yet if a melody has not reached its end, it has also not reached its goal. A parable.'
All in all, this 15-hour collection in an appropriately conversational reading by Michael Lunts is a fascinating, at times infuriating yet always entertaining discovery.

Famously abstruse, this particular Nietzsche work is simple in concept, but originally written in German, a very clunky and intractable language (which I studied on the undergrad level), and saddled with a clumsy translation, this book is a slog.As philosophy, this is an early work, and some of the observations and conclusions are glib and shallow, but it's fun to plow thru it and figure out how Nietzsche's brane worked at an early age.
I recommend this book if you're ornery enough to tackle it and figure it out.

Human All Too Human A Book for Free Spirits (Audible Audio Edition) Friedrich Nietzsche Michael Lunts Ukemi Audiobooks Books Reviews
(My comments on Nietzsche are hardly worth noting; his fame and notoriety, his value as a philosopher and writer, will not be affected by one reviewer. I intend my review to be a comment on my own sentiments in reaction to the work, and also to reflect on the make of the book itself.)
Nietzsche is fascinating and thought-provoking. This book is a great primer for anyone who eventually intends to tackle some of Nietzsche's more cryptic or "heavy" works. It lays out some of the thoughts he will develop more thoroughly later in his life, and is helpful for finding orientation within his philosophies. As a Christian, I strongly disagree with Nietzsche's opinions about religion, the freedom of the spirit, and so much more,--nevertheless his thoughts here cannot be ignored or easily brushed aside, and his style is so infectious, compelling, and mystifying that I cannot help but be haunted by those thoughts, cannot help but respond and react and expose deeply buried sentiments in myself. Furthermore, in reading Nietzsche's "psychological observations" (what he calls "reflection on the human, all too human") there is much insight gained into many of the prevalent European and American philosophies present today. I may disagree with him on a number of points, but he is clearly a penetrating and insightful beholder of the world whose thoughts have been steeped into our modern or post-modern culture.
(As I wrote above, my like or dislike has no bearing on his indispensable value in the history of philosophy and understanding the present-day philosophies.)
I would recommend Human, All Too Human, especially to someone who cannot commit an intense few weeks of serious study to one of Nietzsche's later works. The observations are arranged in aphoristic style, and there are many different themes throughout the work, making this one of those philosophical texts that can be opened at almost any page and read at leisure. Some of Nietzsche's observations would make more sense with a background in early Kantian philosophers, along with Rousseau, Pascal, and La Rochefoucauld, the Bible, and Greek philosophy and tragedy, and a handful of other works. But if experience here is lacking, most of Human, All Too Human can still be read an enjoyed.
The Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy soft-cover edition is right on par with all of their books. Solid binding, nice white pages, pleasant typeface, clean printing; if the reader likes to pencil in notes, he will find these pages treated very well to make erasing effective and clean. The introduction is weak, but that's to be expected from these editions. Introductions usually should be skipped anyway.
To read and learn is all and then discern and call to mind the fine lines perceived of reality being human.
The following review pertains to the Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy edition of Friedrich Nietzsche's `Human all too Human' edited by Schacht and translated by Hollingdale. The current text is compilation of three texts, `Human all too Human' (1878), `Assorted Opinions & Maxims' (1879) and `The Wanderer & His Shadow' (1880 ). These texts were rereleased 1886 as a 2-volume set with new prefaces. As with the majority of Nietzsche's work these texts received little recognition during the author's lifetime.
First, kudos to Cambridge University Press for its the Texts in the History of Philosophy series with its objective of increasing access to important but lesser known philosophical works. This series promises to be an excellent resource for students of philosophy. This edition of Human all too Human is a helpful and accessible compilation of some of Nietzsche's lesser known writings. While translation is always a challenging and often a contentious issue, Hollingdale appears to have achieved an appropriate mix of readability and literalness - he is effective in maintaining the poetic feel of Nietzsche's prose. One minor criticism of this edition is the small font, while probably necessary to keep the text to a single volume; it can make reading less comfortable.
With regard to the work itself, Human all too Human is often seen by scholars as a transitional work in Nietzsche thought. And, has tended to be overlooked in English for reasons of accessibility (limited translations) and perception (not seen to add to his latter corpus). For example, Walter Kaufman the great post WWII popularizer of Nietzsche did not choose to translate these texts.
While clearly the themes evidenced in Human all too Human are further developed in Nietzsche's later work, I believe the text has its own inherent value. Though somewhat more nuanced and less polemical than his more mature work, it provides wonderful insight into his views on a plethora of subjects, religion, art, epistemology, psychology, sociology and culture. It is also a treasure trove of ideas that are further developed by subsequent thinkers such Freud, Jung and Heidegger etc. Overall, it is a brilliant, insightful and wide-ranging text - highly recommended for all students of modern philosophy.
Human,All Too Human is a challenging,frustrating,yet humorous read. I found myself deconstructing the thoughts upon which Nietzsche proposed the fight between religion and intellect. Nietzsche 's peculiar charm shines through the constructive criticism of rationality,which brings a sense of relief while investigating the points that he so vigorously proposes.
I have studied Philosophy for 6 years, and Nietzsche was brilliant, he knew 2 centuries ago what was going to happen in this world. His boks were all written in German and have been translated, but, some of his quotes are just so applicable to the 21rst century.
This is not really a review of the book which is a great mid period Nietzsche. Nietzsche pre Lou Salome when he was influenced by his association with Paul Ree. It's really the first book where he breaks away from Wagner but before the begining of his brilliant mad books that follow Zarathustra. The Hollingdale translation is great but so far the kindle version is bad. It's not a true kindle but a non searchable scan of the text, hence the cheap price. It's useless for word searches but if you're looking for plain text read its ok.
Famously abstruse, this particular Nietzsche work is simple in concept, but originally written in German, a very clunky and intractable language (which I studied on the undergrad level), and saddled with a clumsy translation, this book is a slog.
As philosophy, this is an early work, and some of the observations and conclusions are glib and shallow, but it's fun to plow thru it and figure out how Nietzsche's brane worked at an early age.
