About this book
<b>Grounded in his famous notion that "God is dead," Nietzsche's most personal book--and one of his best<br><br>A Penguin Classic</b><br><br><i>The Joyous Science</i>--also known as <i>The Gay Science</i> and <i>The Joyful Wisdom</i>--is a liberating voyage of discovery as Nietzsche's realization that "God is dead" and his critique of morality, the arts and modernity give way to an exhilarating doctrine of self-emancipation and the concept of eternal recurrence. Here is Nietzsche at his most personal and affirmative; in his words, this is a book of "exuberance, restlessness, contrariety and April showers." With its unique voice and style, its playful combination of poetry and prose, and its invigorating quest for self-emancipation, <i>The Joyous Science</i> is a literary tour de force and quite possibly Nietzsche's best book.<br><br>For more than seventy-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
