Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) left a large Nachlass. From it, his sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche and his friend Heinrich Köselitz, (aka Peter Gast) compiled the text they called The Will to Power. Nietzsche's Nachlass has been translated into many languages, and an English translation is being published by Stanford University Press. Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) left a Nachlass which played an important role as the basis for Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson's 1984 book The Assault on Truth: Freud's Suppression of the Seduction Theory, which led to a huge scholarly contretemps, including a lawsuit. Robert Musil (1880–1942) has within his unfinished novel The Man Without Qualities a second volume, subtitled "Aus dem Nachlass", consisting primarily of miscellaneous notes and sketches, left incomplete at the time of Musil's death. This Nachlass, published posthumously by Musil's widow, is included in both the German and in translated English publications of the work. Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) only published one book during his life. All others have been compiled from his Nachlass, which has been published by the University of Bergen. In German Use of the word in German is not limited to academic contexts. It is frequently used to refer to the entirety of a person's estate after they died, usually in the context of inheritance.
