Publisher's Summary

The Antichrist is a book by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, originally published in 1895. Although it was written in 1888, its controversial content made Franz Overbeck and Heinrich Köselitz delay its publication, along with Ecce Homo. The German title can be translated into English as either The Anti-Christ or The Anti-Christian, depending on how the German word Christ is translated. 

Nietzsche claimed in the foreword to have written the book for a very limited readership. In order to understand the book, he asserted that the reader "...must be honest in intellectual matters to the point of hardness to so much as endure my seriousness, my passion." The audience should be above politics and nationalism. Also, the usefulness or harmfulness of truth should not be a concern. Characteristics such as "strength which prefers questions for which no one today is sufficiently daring; courage for the forbidden" are also needed. He disdained all other readers.

EXCELLENT NARRATION

The Narrator excellently replicated the tone that Nietzsche intended when writing this book. He was clear and precise with his words and hit every sentence with good rhythm. Nietzsche is tedious read, so good job on him. I'd caughtion anyone reading this that people who say the narration is bad for this have no idea what they're talking about. No one does Nietzsche like this guy.
