Translated by Thomas Common. With an Introduction by Nicholas
Davey. 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 UEbermensch,
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. Though misused by the German
National Socialist party as a spurious justification of their
creed, the book also had a profound influence on early
twentieth-century writers such as Shaw, Mann, Gide, Lawrence and
Sartre.
