Thus spake Zarathustra. #420361

"Thus Spake Zarathustra" is a literary work composed by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche between August 1881 and May 1885. The work,long and complex, it speaks of the myths of the eternal return, of the parable of the death of God, together with the prophecy of the overcoming of man himself (in German Übermensch). The entire work tells the story of Zarathustra and, above all, his descent from the mountain to the market to bring his teaching to humanity. The text, ironically, uses a style similar to that of the Bible, but expresses concepts diametrically opposed to those of Christianity and Judaism concerning morals and traditional values.
