Good collection, but...

Good selection, it covers some of Nietzsche's most important works. However, the narration could be better, less dull.

Bad pronunciation and over dramatic narration

I really love the material, but the narrator’s reading style and mispronunciation of words were tough to get through. The recording skipped and repeated during several parts as well. Thankfully, it’s still Nietzsche

Mispronunciation

This guy can't read. The cadence is okay, but he mispronounces a LOT of words. Philosophers names like Hegel and Shoepenhauer are understandable, but there are fairly common English words like analogous that get botched horribly, and it isn't a rare occurrence. I guess that's why the price is so good. You get what you pay for.

Pathetic reading

It would be nice if the book were read by someone with some knowledge of philosophy and thereby didn't butcher all the historical names. But besides mispronunciations of both proper names (but also common words such as "impugn," "grievous," etc.), the reader also misreads (not just mispronounces) common vocabulary such as mistaking "causal" for "casual." Not a professional job.

Oof

Did not vibe with this narrator at all.
I thought I could deal with it to get most of Nietzsche's works in one place, but I was wrong.

Does not have all works description says.

While I can get passed the bad pronunciation of words and other aspects of the proformance it bothers me that not all works are in this book that it claims to have, or if they are they are not easily accessible.
I took the time to make a table of contents, to the best of my ability, that shows what chapters of the collection correspond to what works. If you read this and are able to provide a more complete table of contents please feel free to add yours.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883), Ch 1-15, part 2 Ch 53
Beyond Good and Evil (1883), Ch 16- Ch 26
The Anti-Christ (1886), Ch 27-Ch 32
The Will to Power (1885), Ch 33-ch 43
Human, All Too Human (1875), Ch 44-ch 48
Ecce Homo (1888), Ch 49-ch51
The Birth of Tragedy (1871), Ch 52
Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883), part 2 Ch 53
Twilight of the Idols (1886), Ch 55-Ch 59
The Genealogy of Morals (1884), Ch 60- Ch 67

Where is the table of contents?

I have got the product on my device. Then, I tried to view table of contents. I have found the following list: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, ... Chapter 67, something like that. What does it mean? Can this be fixed? If I want to listen The Birth of Tradegy, what item should I select? I believe, that detailed Table of contents is required for any quality product

Chapter list is missing

There is no way of retrieving information about chapters.

HELP!

This problem renders the title far less value.
