"Human, All Too Human" is the 5th book written by Nietzsche originally published in 1878.This is an extremely rare copy. "The work was first translated into English in 1908 by Alexander Harvey, a Belgian-born American journalist,[3] and was published in Chicago by Charles. H. Kerr, a small but notable publishing house of socially progressive literature.[23] Following this, a 1909 translation by writer Helen Zimmern was published as part of a complete edition of Nietzsche's books in English but was never translated by Walter Kaufmann when he translated most of Nietzsche's works into English in the 1950s and 1960s." "The book is Nietzsche's first in the aphoristic style that would come to dominate his writings, discussing a variety of concepts in short paragraphs or sayings. Reflecting an admiration of Voltaire as a free thinker, but also a break in his friendship with composer Richard Wagner two years earlier, Nietzsche dedicated the original 1878 edition of Human, All Too Human "to the memory of Voltaire on the celebration of the anniversary of his death, May 30, 1778". Instead of a preface, the first part originally included a quotation from Descartes's Discourse on the Method. Nietzsche later republished all three parts as a two-volume edition in 1886, adding a preface to each volume, and removing the Descartes quotation as well as the dedication to Voltaire."
