Thus Spoke Zarathustra

'Enigmatic, vatic, emphatic, passionate . . . Nietzsche's works together make a unique statement in the literature of European ideas' A. C. Grayling

Nietzsche regarded 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' as his most important work, and his story of the wandering Zarathustra has had enormous influence on subsequent culture. Nietzsche uses a mixture of homilies, parables, epigrams and dreams to introduce some of his most striking doctrines, including the Overman, nihilism, and the eternal return of the same.

The first comprehensive interpretation of Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra―an important and difficult text and the only book Nietzsche ever wrote with characters, events, setting, and a plot.
