About this listen

Composed in four parts between 1883 and 1885, Thus Spoke Zarathustra is the most famous and influential work of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The work is a philosophical novel in which the character of Zarathustra, a religious prophet-like figure, delivers a series of lessons and sermons in a Biblical style that articulate the central ideas of Nietzsche's mature thought. Key to the philosophy of Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a rejection of traditional systems of religious morality, the idea of the will to power, and a vision of a new, higher mode of being, the ubermensch" or "Superman," one of Nietzsche's most famous and controversial figures. As innovative stylistically as it is philosophically, Thus Spoke Zarathustra is both a literary masterpiece and an enduring classic of moral thought. This version of Thus Spoke Zarathustra is the translation by Thomas Common.

I have listened to this guy narrate Ken Follet books and he’s great. But for Zarathustra he is perfect.

This is by far, the epitome of artfully expressed philosophy. The work is consistently thought-provoking. The language is embellished and crowned with an unblemished narration. In my opinion, the tone and the narrative attitude of the translator and the narrator, respectively, is indicative of intense readership (if not discipleship) of Nietzsche. It is indeed, a spectacular work of art.

Great reading. Great translation. All good. There is so much wisdom contained in such a short space. One might spend a lifetime on a book such as this.

It’s written in the style of a religious text and was pleased when it was finished as it’s a bit long winded.
Thus Zarathustra didn’t say this. 😂
