Pagera Editor's Note
Thus Spake Zarathustra, subtitled A Book for All and None, is Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical narrative in poetic prose, written in four parts between 1883 and 1885. The sage Zarathustra comes down from ten years of solitude in the mountains to teach that God is dead and that man is something to be surpassed by the Superman. Through speeches, parables, and encounters he develops the ideas of the will to power and the eternal recurrence of all things. This edition is Thomas Common's translation, with an introduction by Elizabeth Förster-Nietzsche on how the book came into being and an appendix of notes by Anthony M. Ludovici.
