«Así hablaba Zaratustra» is the philosophical essay by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Ediciones Brontes in paperback (254 pages, in Spanish).
The work narrates how the prophet Zarathustra descends from his mountain retreat to announce the death of God and the arrival of the overman. With a poetic and allegorical style, Nietzsche criticizes traditional morality and religion, and defends the will to power and self-overcoming as paths to create new values.
Work originally published between 1883 and 1885. This Spanish edition includes the translation by Carlos Palazón.
Aimed at philosophy readers interested in Nietzsche's work and in debates on morality, religion, and the meaning of existence.
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.
