'The profoundest book there is, born from the innermost richness of
truth, an inexhaustible well into which no bucket descends without
coming up with gold and goodness.' Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1885) was
Nietzsche's own favourite among all his books and has proved to be his
most popular, having sold millions of copies in many different
languages. In it he addresses the problem of how to live a fulfilling
life in a world without meaning, in the aftermath of 'the death of
God'. Nietzsche's solution lies in the idea of eternal recurrence
which he calls 'the highest formula of affirmation that can ever be
attained'. A successful engagement with this profoundly Dionysian idea
enables us to choose clearly among the myriad possibilities that
existence offers, and thereby to affirm every moment of our lives with
others on this 'sacred' earth. This translation of Zarathustra (the
first new English version for over forty years) conveys the musicality
of the original German, and for the first time annotates the abundance
of allusions to the Bible and other classic texts with which
Nietzsche's masterpiece is in conversation. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over
100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range
