«Así habló Zaratustra» is the philosophical work by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Edimat Libros in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
Nietzsche unfolds his thought through the figure of Zaratustra, a hermit who comes down from the mountain to convey his wisdom. In the form of discourses and parables, he addresses the death of God, the overman, the will to power and the eternal return, and proposes a vitalist attitude that accepts life in its fullness against traditional morality.
The work belongs to the collection «Clásicos de la literatura universal», whose number 5 is this title.
Recommended for philosophy students and readers who want to approach one of the capital texts 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.
