About the book

Thus Spake Zarathustra is a philosophical work by Friedrich Nietzsche, the German philosopher. He wrote it in four parts between 1883 and 1885; the fourth part was at first printed privately. Its subtitle is “A Book for All and None.” The hero takes his name from Zarathustra, or Zoroaster, the ancient Persian prophet, but Nietzsche’s Zarathustra is his own creation.
