In one of his best-known and most contentious works, The Anti-christ, Curse on Christianity (Der Antichrist. Fluch auf das Christentum, September 1888), Nietzsche launches into a polemic, hyperbolic attack on the morals of Christianity — the view of Nietzsche as an enthusiastic attacker of Christianity largely arises from this book. Therein he elaborates on his criticisms of Ch...(展开全部)

弗里德里希·尼采（Nietzsche，Friedrich，1844-1900），19世纪德国哲学家，唯意志论和生命哲学主要代表之一，被认为是世界最伟大的思想家之一。 早年在波恩大学和莱比锡大学学习，获博士学位。不到25岁就被聘为瑞士巴塞尔大学的古典语文学副教授，并在一年以后成为正教授。一生著述颇丰，如《悲剧的诞生》、《查拉图斯特拉如是说》、《善恶的彼岸》、《强力意志》等，对20世纪的思想界产生重大影响。1889年初，在意大利的都灵街头摔倒，就此精神错乱，于11年后在德国的魏玛去世。

This is Nietzsche's last book and a fitting capstone to his career. It's succinct, biting, and encapsulates the criticisms of Christianity found in his other works. This edition contains an 8,000-word introduction by its translator, the famous iconoclastic writer H. L. Mencken.

俄裔美国作家安·兰德（Ayn Rand，1905一1982）的科幻小说《地球战栗》（Atlas Shrugged），这部著作中着重于对虚无主义主题的描写。在当代文学中，虚无主义主题在科特·沃尼格特（Ku rt Vonnegut）的书中也可见。罗伯特·斯通（Robert Stone）也是一位经常以虚无主义为主题的美国当代作家。在他的小说“日落之旗”（A Flag for Sunrise）（1981年）中，主角霍利维尔（Holliwell）挣扎着对抗他自己的虚无主义倾向。另一位书写虚无主义的是美国作家恰克·帕拉涅科（Chuck Palahniuk）。如在他1996年的小说“斗阵俱乐部”中，“毁灭计划”的终极目的就是摧毁现代文明以重建人性。然而帕拉涅科声称他并没有故意写虚无主义。 由于这部小说，兰德不再仅仅被称为“最畅销小说家”，而且还被称为“最具影响力的...(展开全部)

The Gregg family loves hunting, but their eight-year-old neighbor can't stand it. After countless pleas for them to stop are ignored, she has no other choice -- she has to put her magic finger on them. Now the Greggs are a family of birds, and like it or not, they're going to find out how it feels to be on the other end of the gun.

In this dizzyingly rich novel of ideas, Mann uses a sanatorium in the Swiss Alps--a community devoted exclusively to sickness--as a microcosm for Europe, which in the years before 1914 was already exhibiting the first symptoms of its own terminal irrationality. The Magic Mountain is a monumental work of erudition and irony, sexual tension and intellectual ferment, a book that p...(展开全部)
