Thus Spoke Zarathustra

"Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is partly a philosophical, partly a poetic treatise by the German thinker Friedrich Nietzsche. Without ever giving final answers, the author gives the reader the opportunity to work out moral and universal human questions. The central theme of the book is the image of the Übermensch— the human who creates, possessing a powerful will to change the world. The Übermensch surpasses the human by as much as the human surpasses the ape. Praising the idea that each of us must go our own way, Nietzsche reveals his thoughts in the work about what place a person occupies in the surrounding world, in society of their peers, and in their relationship with themselves.
