The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche is a book by H. L. Mencken, the first edition appearing in 1908. The book covers both better- and lesser-known areas of Friedrich Nietzsche's life and philosophy. It is notable both for its suggestion of Mencken's still-developing literary talents at the age of 27 and for its impressive detail as the first book written in English on Nietzsche, only seven years after his death, when there were few reliable interpretations of Nietzsche in the Western sphere of letters. Mencken prepared for writing this book by reading all of Nietzsche's published philosophy, including several works in the original German.[1][2]
