Thus Spake Zarathustra

Meer over het boek

The book features Zarathustra, a character inspired by Zoroaster, who delivers profound speeches on themes such as the death of God, the Übermensch, and the will to power. Set against a backdrop of solitude, Zarathustra grapples with his own aging and the nature of compassion after a soothsayer's visit. His journey is marked by symbolic encounters, including a lion and doves, which reflect his evolving understanding of superiority and the interconnectedness of humanity. The prologue lays the groundwork for these philosophical explorations.
