This is the most important book of the last 200 years. Not important as in influential, but important as in vital to our civilization's continual success and climb towards greatness. It's the densest, most intelligent synthesis of everything from the Western canon of the last 2000 years, and it diagnosed all of society's ills (even the ones we are experiencing now) as well as prescribed the most thoroughly clean remedies to those ills that have so far been created.

How can you NOT love this book? How can you NOT want to read this book?

The old woman says it, and it is telling of a truth that old women secretly know about women. Women want to be commanded.

Behold, I show you the last men. "We have invented happiness," say the last men, and they blink. They have left the regions where it was hard to live, for one needs warmth.

What is the /lit/ approved translation? What's wrong with Kaufmann?

Not him, but Kaufmann is fine. He's better than many other translators and not all that different from the best ones.

However, the commanding is also that of the commanding of a dance. Namely the dance of the dionysian revel, the man is supposed to be the Dionysian figure who conducts the feminine reproductive figures of constant renewal and rebirth via the suffering of said birth. This is emphasised heavily in the final sections of Twilight of the Idols.
