A humanities bestseller, with over 3 million copies sold in Korea and Japan.
《The First Translation of Nietzsche's Words》Ⅰ,Ⅱ Integrated Manuscript Edition

“Live your life to the fullest.”
Direct and brilliant life sentences that comfort the day, inspire dreams, and awaken the heart.
Carve it with your hands, and keep it in your heart without any shortcomings.

There's nothing glaringly wrong, but sometimes you can't end the day feeling good and go to sleep comfortably.
There are moments when I want to be understood and comforted by someone, when I feel lost and lonely and it is difficult to express it in words.
《The First Translation of Nietzsche's Words》 offers us words of calm comfort and hope.

Since its publication in 2010 and 2014, the best-selling books, “The First Translation of Nietzsche’s Words,” and its sequel, “The First Translation of Nietzsche’s Words II,” have sold over 3 million copies in Korea and Japan, and are still loved by many readers.
Even today, two centuries after the death of Friedrich Nietzsche, his writings, far from fading, transcend time and offer fresh stimulation and resonance, awakening our hearts with their penetrating insights, cool-headed awareness of reality, and uniquely direct and free-spirited writing style.


The basic structure of "The Words of Nietzsche" is a compilation of passages from the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, a master of the philosophy of life and considered one of the greatest philosophers in history, that sharply confront the worries and anxieties of modern people and offer reflection and comfort.
The delicate sensibility and lively interpretation of Haruhiko Shiratori, a renowned author known for his easy and clear commentary on philosophy and religion, have been added to create aphorisms that convey deep and powerful emotions without being difficult to understand.
The second story, "Nietzsche's Words in the First Translation II," also contains sharp insights that transcend time and is filled with colorful emotions that sharply stimulate the inner selves of those of us living in the 21st century.
I encourage you to live a life true to yourself without worrying about what others think, and not just live a life of letting things roll by, but a life of your own choosing, a life you are not ashamed of, a life you have no regrets about.

Although it has been over a decade since its publication, online bookstore reviews and social media are still filled with responses from readers who find comfort and courage in Nietzsche's words.
'Things we all think about at least once in our lives.
It tells you how and with what mindset you should move forward.
A book that you want to read over and over again to imprint it in your brain rather than just once (Kyobo Bookstore em*******), 'Sentences that are easy to read and short but by no means light (Kyobo Bookstore cy******), 'Full of sentences that encourage you to be strong and give you the strength to face life with confidence (yes24 p*****u), 'I was very lucky to have come across this book (Naver blog zin****)'.
As word of mouth spread about it being a good book to copy, copy challenges began to take place actively, not only among individuals but also in reading communities and copy groups.
In addition, many readers continued to inquire and request the publication of manuscripts, and thanks to these requests, the integrated manuscript edition, “The First Translation of Nietzsche’s Words,” was published.
Among the 455 articles that cover “The First Translation of Nietzsche’s Words” I and II, we have newly selected 190 articles that are good to read carefully, handwritten sentence by sentence.


Nietzsche's words, which stand out for their compelling power and insight more than any other philosopher, reach readers in short prose fragments.
Rather than giving advice to create a 'me to look good to others' or a 'me to live comfortably in society', I urge you to make time to find 'a me who is honest with myself'.
The voice is filled with a sharp sense of reality, yet at the same time, it is filled with a tenderness that soothes hearts shaken by anxiety and helplessness.
These words of Nietzsche give us, living in this harsh and difficult modern age, a moment of self-reflection and a small hope.
Let us engrave each and every letter of these straightforward and brilliant sentences of life, which comfort a weary day, rekindle forgotten dreams, and awaken a wandering heart, and fully embrace them without any shortcomings.
