For nearly a century, the original version of Upton Sinclair’s classic novel has remained almost entirely unknown. When it was published in serial form in 1905, it was a full third longer than the censored, commercial edition published in book form the following year.

The text of this new edition is as it appeared in the original uncensored edition of 190

A brief biographical sketch is followed by clear and thorough explanations of Nietzsche’s basic concepts and attitudes. Analyzed are Nietzsche’s much-misunderstood concept of the superman, his concept o
