Thus Spake Zarathustra (Wordsworth Classics of World Literature) by Nietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelm
Format: Trade Paperback
Published by Wordsworth Editions Ltd, 1999
This astonishing series of aphorisms, put into the mouth of the Persian sage Zarathustra, or Zoroaster, contains the kernel of Nietzsche's thought. 'God is dead', he tells us. Christianity is decadent, leading mankind into a slave morality concerned not with this life, but with the next. Nietzsche emphasises the Übermensch, or Superman, whose will to power makes him the creator of a new heroic mentality. The intensely felt ideas are expressed in prose-poetry of indefinable beauty.
