Born into a line of Protestant churchman, Nietzsche studied Classical literature and language before becoming a professor at the University of Basel in Switzerland. He became a philosopher after reading Schopenhauer, who suggested that God does not exist, and that life is filled with pain and suffering. Nietzsche's first work of prominence was \u003cem\u003eThe Birth of Tragedy\u003c\/em\u003e in 1872, which contained new theories regarding the origins of classical Greek culture. From 1883 to 1885 Nietzsche composed his most famous work, \u003cem\u003eThus Spake Zarathustra\u003c\/em\u003e, in which he famously proclaimed that \"God is dead.\" He went on to release several more notable works including \u003cem\u003eBeyond Good and Evil\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Genealogy of Morals\u003c\/em\u003e, both of which dealt with the origins of moral values. Nietzsche suffered a nervous breakdown in 1889 and passed away in 1900, but not before giving us his most famous quote, \"From life's school of war: what does not kill me makes me stronger.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50629319131410,"sku":"9780062930842","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/on-truth-and-untruth-selected-writings-9780062930842","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
