"Could it be possible? This old saint in the forest still hasn't heard of him, that God is dead!" The ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from a life of solitude in the mountains to announce to the world that God has been supplanted by the "Superman", the divine in human form. In one of the most radical and influential works of modern philosophy, Friedrich Nietzsche exposes the new standards of morality after the "death of God." Often misrepresented (and hijacked for dangerous purposes by Nazi intellectuals), Spake Zarathustra is a work of deep brilliance and poetic mastery that still provides meaning in today's complex and changing world.
