Nietzsche wrote The Gay Science, which he later described as 'perhaps my most personal book', when he was at the height of his intellectual powers, and the reader will find in it an extensive and sophisticated treatment of the philosophical themes and views which were most central to Nietzsche's own thought and which have been most influential on later thinkers. These include the death of God, the problem of nihilism, the role of truth, falsity and the will-to-truth in human life, the doctrine of the eternal recurrence, and the question of the proper attitude to adopt toward human suffering and toward human achievement. This volume presents the work in a new translation by Josefine Nauckhoff, with an introduction by Bernard Williams that elucidates the work's main themes and discusses their continuing philosophical importance.

Cartas a Milena reúne la correspondencia que entre 1920 y 1922 Franz Kafka (1883-1924) dirigió a Milena Jesenská, mujer residente en la Viena mítica que encarnaba todas las contradicciones del moribundo imperio de los Habsburgos y que acometió la traducción de sus primeros escritos al checo. Procedente de una familia praguense de elevada posición social y casada con un intelectual de vida bohemia, la correspondencia de Kafka con esta mujer de vivo temperamento y amplia cultura no sólo muestra la transición de una amistad basada fundamentalmente en razones literarias a una relación sentimental de particular intensidad, sino que revela de forma excepcional la sensibilidad e intimidad emocional del autor de «La metamorfosis».
