This English translation—the first since 1909—restores Human, All Too Human to its proper central position in the Nietzsche canon. First published in 1878, the book marks the philosophical coming of age of Friedrich Nietzsche. In it he rejects the romanticism of his early work, influenced by Wagner and Schopenhauer, and looks to enlightened reason and science. The "Free Spirit" enters, untrammeled by all accepted conventions, a precursor of Zarathustra. The result is 638 stunning aphorisms about everything under and above the sun.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Superior Edition for Scholarly References
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2011
Verified Purchase
When I first posted this review, I got an older reprint edition first, on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Human-All-Too-Friedrich-Nietzsche/dp/1470196247/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1365391588&sr=1-1&keywords=Nietzsche+Human+All+too+Human. That is the "readily available translation" to which I compare this edition. On replying to a comment,below, I see there are a number of new editions of "Human, All Too Human", including one from Cambridge, whose editions of Nietzsche are generally very helpful, and often based on Hollingshead's translations. Here is my original review:

There are two readily available translations of Friedrich Nietzsche's "Human All Too Human". The first is a reprint from some unknown earlier translation, and there is no clear statement of who it is who did the translation. Had the translation been done by Walter Kaufmann or R. J. Hollingsdale, it would probably have been prominantly advertised. As it is, it is probably reprinted from the old, original translation, most of which Kaufmann and Hollingsdale have improved. But neither translated this book. The volume announces that it contains Parts One and Two, but this may be a slight misnomer. Part 2 of the volume is "Assorted Opinions and Maxims" and "The Wanderer and His Shadow". This may have been how these works were originally published in German, but if a commentator is referring to "Human All Too Human", they are referring only to Part One. One serious drawback of this edition is the unnamed editors have removed Nietzsche's paragraph numbers. For a work which will be cited in scholarly works, this borders on being unforgivable. There are several German and English editions of Nietzsche's works, all with different paginations; however, the paragraph numbering will be constant across all editions. This is why classical works such as Plato's dialogues have paragraph and line numbers, so texts can be found regarless of translator or if one is looking at the original Greek. Another absence which reduces the value of this edition is that there are no footnotes. Nietzsche never footnoted his references, so one has no clue, when he refers to an expression by Keats or Horace, where that expression may have come.

The second edition (this one), a new translation by Mariaon Faber and Stephen Lehmann, with introductory notes and an introduction by Arthur Danto, is far superior, if what you want is the work entitled "Human All Too Human". It has all the original paragraph numbers and Ms. Faber has added plenty of footnotes to indicate the source of Nietzsche's references, even when they are obscure, as when he refers to a "Homeric laugh", she comes up with one reference in The Iliad and two references in The Odyssey. There is an especially important footnote at the beginning, showing a quote from Descartes (in both English and French) which Nietzsche had in a German edition of the book. The English edition cited above has nothing of that. The most important difference may be that Faber's edition translates all the items Nietzsche cites in French, Latin, Greek, or what have you. Nietzsche did not translate them into German, and the unnamed translator did not bother to translate them into English. It too me hours to track down the source of a quote from Horace in Latin. Faber has it right there, as plain as day.

On the basis of a cursory look, the two translations are very similar. The main difference I could see is that Faber points out where Nietzsche invents words (an ever so easy practice in German, which so commonly makes up compound words at the drop of a hat.) If all you want is "Human All Too Human", and especially if you need it for some research, do yourself a big favor and get Faber's University of Nebraska Press edition.

Another great read from our friend Nietzsche. Not as amusing as Zarathustra, (providing you read w skilled interpreter like Kaufman) but, harshly honest, sad and powerful.
