Thus Spake Zarathustra

""Thus Spake Zarathustra"" is a philosophical novel written by Friedrich Nietzsche, first published in 1883. The book is structured in four parts, each containing a series of speeches and dialogues given by the character Zarathustra, who is a prophet-like figure that preaches his own philosophy of the ""Superman"" and the ""will to power"". The book is heavily influenced by Nietzsche's own ideas of nihilism, the death of God, and the need for individuals to create their own values and meaning in life. Zarathustra's teachings challenge traditional morality and religion, emphasizing the importance of individualism and self-overcoming. Throughout the book, Zarathustra encounters various characters, including the ""last man"" who represents the complacency and mediocrity of modern society, and the ""�����bermensch"" or ""Superman"" who embodies the ideal of the individual who has overcome their limitations and embraced their own power. ""Thus Spake Zarathustra"" is considered one of Nietzsche's most influential works, inspiring many thinkers and artists in the following decades. It is a complex and challenging book that explores themes such as the nature of existence, the human condition, and the search for meaning and purpose in life.I used to have a copy of the Portable Nietzche from Penguin or whoever. Most of part three from Zarathustra was gone, replaced by a repeated big chunk from part II, then went straight to part IV. You won't have that problem.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
