«Así hablaba Zaratustra» is the philosophical work by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Edaf Antillas in paperback (336 pages, in Spanish).
Zarathustra, a prophet who descends from the mountain after years of solitude, sets out his vision of morality, religion and the meaning of existence before men. Nietzsche criticizes the traditional values of Christianity and proposes the figure of the superman as the ideal of a full and creative life, in a poetic and allegorical style.
«Así hablaba Zaratustra» was originally published in four parts between 1883 and 1885, and this edition is a Spanish translation of «Also sprach Zarathustra».
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher and writer who started his career as a classical philologist and turned to philosophy early in his academic career. In 1869, at age 24, he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. Plagued by health problems for most of his life, he resigned from the university in 1879. He afterward lived as an independent writer, spending much of his life in relative solitude and financial insecurity while moving between Switzerland, Italy, and southern France in search of climates that might alleviate his condition, and in the following decade, he completed much of his core writing. In 1889, aged 44, he suffered a neurological collapse, and thereafter a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and vascular dementia; he lived out his remaining 11 years, first under the care of his mother, and later his sister, until his death. His works and his philosophy have fostered not only extensive scholarship but also much popular interest.
