Thus Spoke Zarathustra

alternate cover edition - ISBN 10: 0140441182
No modern philosopher has been more completely misquoted and misrepresented than Friedrich Nietzsche (18-44-1900). His phrase, 'God is dead', his insistence that the meaning of life is to be found in purely human terms, and his doctrine of the Superman and the will to power were all later seized upon and unrecognizably twisted by, among others, Nazi intellectuals. This new translation of Thus Spoke Zarathustra, a spiritual odyssey through the modern world, is therefore of supreme value in judging for ourselves a brilliantly original thinker who has had a powerful influence upon such twentieth-century writers as Shaw, Mann, Sartre, and Camus.
