Here is Nietzsche at his most personal and affirmative; in his words, this is a book of \"exuberance, restlessness, contrariety and April showers.\" With its unique voice and style, its playful combination of poetry and prose, and its invigorating quest for self-emancipation, \u003ci\u003eThe Joyous Science\u003c\/i\u003e is a literary tour de force and quite possibly Nietzsche's best book. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
