Friedrich Nietzsche
Translated by Thomas Common. With an Introduction by Nicholas Davey._x000D_
_x000D_
This astonishing series of aphorisms, put into the mouth of the Persian sage Zarathustra, or Zoroaster,_x000D_
contains the kernel of Nietzsche’s thought. ‘God is dead’, he tells us. Christianity is decadent, leading_x000D_
mankind into a slave morality concerned not with this life, but with the next. Nietzsche emphasises the_x000D_
?bermensch, or Superman, whose will to power makes him the creator of a new heroic mentality. The_x000D_
intensely felt ideas are expressed in prose-poetry of indefinable beauty._x000D_
_x000D_
Though misused by the German National Socialist party as a spurious justification of their creed, the book_x000D_
also had a profound influence on early twentiethcentury writers such as Shaw, Mann, Gide, Lawrence and Sartre.
