16 Translator's Preface
editor at Norton, whose encouraging and enlightening e-mails always
came at the right moments, and to his able assistant, Jason Baskin. My
greatest debts of gratitude go to my husband, Markus, and our sons,
Aaron and Noah. They now know far more about Nietzsche than any of
them would have wished, and I appreciate their boundless tolerance for
all of the time I spent in libraries and before a computer screen.
