«Así habló Zaratustra» is the philosophical work by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Planeta Deagostini in 1992 in paperback (358 pages, in Spanish).
Zarathustra, a sage who descends from the mountain to speak to humanity, serves as the thread for Nietzsche's critique of inherited morality and religion. The work sets out the central ideas of his philosophy: the death of God, the overman, the will to power and the eternal return, conceived as an affirmation of life.
This edition belongs to the collection Obras Maestras del Pensamiento Contemporáneo. Thus Spoke Zarathustra originally appeared in four parts between 1883 and 1885.
For readers interested in philosophy and in the classics of nineteenth-century thought.
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.
