«Así habló Zaratustra» is the philosophical work by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (471 pages, in Spanish).
In this work, Nietzsche presents Zaratustra, a hermit who descends from the mountain to share his wisdom. Through his discourses, he criticises traditional morality and religion, announces the death of God, and raises ideas such as the overman, the will to power and the eternal return, in defence of a full acceptance of life.
Subtitled «un libro para todos y para nadie», this edition includes an introduction, translation and notes by Andrés Sánchez Pascual. It was originally published in four instalments between 1883 and 1885.
A reference work for philosophy students and for those wishing to approach Nietzsche's thought and his critique of traditional morality.
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.
