Publisher's Synopsis
The Joyful Wisdom is a book Friedrich Nietzsche, first published in 1882 and followed a second edition, which was published after the completion of Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Beyond Good and Evil, in 1887. This substantial expansion includes a fifth book and an appendix of songs. It was noted Nietzsche to be "the most personal of all [his] books", and contains the greatest number of poems in any of his published works.
