ABOUT THE BOOK

An intense spiritual odyssey

Nietzsche's bleak assertion that all human action is motivated by the desire for power forms the basis of Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883-5). Yet, he argues, there is hope. Mastery of oneself, achieved through inner power, leads to joy, which requires no justification. In this extract Zarathustra announces the death of God and birth of a successor, the Superman, and describes his views on a variety of subjects. Deeply influential and the work of a brilliantly original thinker, Thus Spoke Zarathustra is published in Penguin Classics.
