Book summary

After ten years alone in the mountains, the sage Zarathustra comes down among men to bring them news: “God is dead”. He urges them to stop following the values they have been taught, and to create their own.

This book brought the idea of the Übermensch into our culture. Many readers still find in it a powerful call to become fully themselves.

With the translation always in front of you, you can read these speeches, short and rhythmic like poems, in the language you are learning.

The plot

A sage leaves his mountain. At thirty, the sage Zarathustra goes to live in a cave, alone with an eagle and a serpent.

The world of the book

A prophet from ancient Persia. The real Zarathustra lived in Persia more than 2,500 years ago. He saw the world as a battle between good and evil.
