The Birth of Tragedy by Friedrich Nietzsche(Classic Edition Hardcover)
- ISBN-13 : 978-8182476370
- Dimensions : 22 x 14 x 1.5 cm
- Page : 154 pages
- The Birth of Tragedy a book by German philosopher Friedrick Nietzsche, first published in 1872 as Die Geburt der Tragodie aus dem Geiste der Musik. A speculative rather than exegetical work examines the origins and development of poetry, specifically Greek Tragedy. Nietzsche argues that Greek Tragedy arose out of the fusion of what he termed Apollonian and Dionysian elements – the former representing measure. restraint, and harmony and the latter unbridled passion- and that Socratic rationalism and optimism spelled the death of Greek Tragedy. The Final part of the book is a rhapsody on the rebirth of tragedy from the spirit of Richard Wagner’s Music. Greeted by stony silence at first, the book became the object of heated controvery for those who mistook it for a conventional work of classical scholarship. It remains a classic in the history of aesthetics.

Ecce Homo by Friedrich Nietzsche (H.B)
In late 1888, only weeks before his final collapse into madness, Nietzsche (1844-1900) set out to compose his autobiography, and Ecce Homo remains one of the most intriguing yet bizarre examples of the genre ever written. In this extraordinary work Nietzsche traces his life, work and development as a philosopher, examines the heroes he has identified with, struggled against and then overcome – Schopenhauer, Wagner, Socrates, Christ – and predicts the cataclysmic impact of his ‘forthcoming revelation of all values’. Both self-celebrating and self-mocking, penetrating and strange, Ecce Homo gives the final, definitive expression to Nietzsche’s main beliefs and is in every way his last testament.

1984 by George Orwell (Hardback)

In England that has been shred to pieces by wars, civil conflict and revolutions, Winston Smith survives in a one-room apartment in the small province of Airstrip One. In a dictatorial society where freedom of individuality is suppressed and thoughts are monitored by the Thought Police, the Party makes all the rules, guided by its leader Big Brother. Tele screens, cameras and secret microphones in every home enable the Thought Police in identifying citizens that might compromise the Party’s command. Winston works under the Ministry of Truth as an editor and his job is to revolutionise history by rewriting records, altering photographs, managing the ‘unpersons’ and discarding original documents in a ‘memory hole’. Winston soon develops a keen interest in the real history of the world and starts writing a secret journal criticising the Party and Big Brother. He crosses paths with Julia, who shares his contempt towards the Party, and they begin their apparently secret love affair by meeting in blue-collar neighbourhoods that do not have tele screens. Believing that they are escaping the Thought Police’s radar, both join the Brotherhood, an underground society that intends to rage war against the Party but they are unaware that Big Brother is always watching. With plot twists that are breath-taking this book does not shy away from questioning the modern world which explains why throughout its publication history, the book has either been banned or challenged as subversive and claimed to be ideologically corrupting.
