This philosophical novel follows the travel and struggle of a prophet called Zarathustra who turns traditional morality on its head. The novel is one of Friedrich Nietzsche's most important works. The book slyly imitates the New Testament and the philosophical dialogues of Plato. We chose the Thomas Common translation because we believe it captures the radiant style of the original version. As you listen, you'll get the best sense of Nietzsche's wit and brilliance as you hear from Zarathustra, the self-mastered man at the height of his power.
