Obra capital de Friedrich Nietzsche, As habl Zaratustra recrea los trabajos y las palabras del profeta persa Zaratustra en el momento en que desciende de las montaas para revelar ante el mundo que Dios ha muerto y que el Superhombre ha de ser su sucesor. Con un discurso de gran intensidad que combina la tica, la narracin y la poesa, Nietzsche sostiene que el sentido de la existencia no se encuentra en las viejas ideas religiosas ni en la sumisin a los amos, sino en una fuerza vital todopoderosa que puede identificarse con una nueva forma de ser libre. La presente edicin, a cargo de Fernando Prez-Borbujo lvarez, experto en el autor y profesor de filosofa de la Universidad Pompeu Fabra, cuenta con una magnfica introduccin sobre la vida y obra de Nietzsche y un aparato de notas que ayuda a la cabal comprensin del texto. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Friedrich Nietzsche was one of the most revolutionary and subversive thinkers in Western philosophy, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra remains his most famous and influential work. It describes how the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from his solitude in the mountains to tell the world that God is dead and that the Superman, the human embodiment of divinity, is his successor. Nietzsche's utterance 'God is dead', his insistence that the meaning of life is to be found in purely human terms, and his doctrine of the Superman and the will to power were all later seized upon and unrecognisably twisted by, among others, Nazi intellectuals. With blazing intensity and poetic brilliance, Nietzsche argues that the meaning of existence is not to be found in religious pieties or meek submission to authority, but in an all-powerful life force: passionate, chaotic and free.
