«Così parlò Zarathustra. Un libro per tutti e per nessuno» is the philosophical essay by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Mondadori in paperback, in Italian.
Zarathustra, an ancient Persian prophet, returns to a morally fractured world to correct his doctrine of good and evil. Turned into a prophet of Dionysian wisdom, he preaches through parables the joyful acceptance of existence, the overcoming of Christian morality and the arrival of the superman; the eternal return is one of its keys.
Italian edition published in 2001 in the Oscar classici collection (no. 553), with an essay by Carlo Sini and translation by Maria Francesca Occhipinti. The original work dates from 1883.
For readers of philosophy and nineteenth-century German literature, especially those wishing to learn about Nietzsche's 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.
