Thus Spoke Zarathustra (Zarathustra)

"Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is a philosophical novel by Friedrich Nietzsche that follows the character Zarathustra, a prophet-like figure who shares his insights on life, morality, and the nature of humanity. Through poetic language and parables, Zarathustra conveys ideas such as the "Übermensch" (Overman), the importance of individuality, and the concept of eternal recurrence—the idea that life repeats itself infinitely. The work critiques traditional morality and religion, advocating for a life that embraces creation, personal growth, and self-overcoming. It is a foundational text in existentialism and modern philosophy, encouraging readers to forge their own values and meanings.
