Thus Spoke Zarathustra

The book is originally from Penguin Select Classics. I loved the quality as per the price! The pages and cover of the book both are of amazing quality. Highly recommended. Always a fan of Penguin Select Classics because of their affordable price and top notch quality.

Ofcourse the book is very good. It's one of the best works of Nietzche but the literature is a bit hard to understand if you're new to his work. I wouldn't recommend this one to get into Neitzche's work. You can perhaps start with The Gay Science or some other easy to understand and direct books.

haven;t read it fully yet but its an intresting book

Good

Good read hope Amazon delivers in box since this book is fragile in nature

May just be the best of Nietzsche's works.

I am neither an admirer nor an expert of Nietzschean philosophy. However, from a theological perspective, I hold several criticisms. What is peculiar about Nietzsche, in my view, is that he managed to position himself in opposition to both Christianity and the Enlightenment—two traditions that were already rivals to begin with. He may be described as a form of epistemological nihilist who, through his declaration that “God is dead,” sought to rescue humanity from what he perceived as the madness of religion. What Nietzsche failed to recognize, however, is that in digging a grave for God, one must also dig a grave for humanity itself. Regardless of whether God exists or does not exist, the inherent human need for a God figure cannot simply be eradicated. Even in the highly unlikely event that such an eradication were possible, it would leave behind a profound psychological and spiritual void—one that no alternative construct can adequately fill. Nietzsche’s attempt to address this void through concepts such as the Übermensch was undoubtedly creative, yet it was clearly destined to fail on a large scale. Thus, while Nietzsche and his philosophy remain relevant, the war against God continues to be waged primarily by science, whereas Nietzschean anti-religious campaign has largely slipped into irrelevance.

This book is source of peaceful and happy life.

The ebook starts with a narration about how humans emigrated from Mars that is not related at all with Thus spoke Zarathustra, I'm just not able to locate where Thus spoke Zarathustra begins.

I cannot think of one book that has more influence on me than Thus Spoke Zarathustra. It is a book that I once read at least once a year and it never failed to fill my mind with hope and ideas. I totally disagree with those who consider Nietzsche to be hard, stern, and without hope. I find nothing but hope in the works of Nietzsche. He deepest desire was to see humans remove the yoke of any oppressive ideologies which hindered thoughts and imagination. My initial reading of Zarathustra was very disappointing. I was not ready for the very stylized language he used but subsequent reading made me look beyond the style and see the thoughts behind them and then yielded the wisdom beneath. I make no claims to entirely understand Nietzsche but someone who dropped out before reaching high school I believe I have a fairly good grasp of his overall principles. His ideas are not so abstract that only scholars can understand them. I have now read most of his major works and consider him the single greatest influence on my own life and the perceptions of various institutions. As an atheist I was naturally drawn to his hostility towards most forms of organized religions---the exception for Nietzsche being Buddhism--but he was not grim or dour about this and always championed the "yay-saying" and discouraged the "nay-saing". His words can come across as a bit hard and cold but he felt he was in a desperate battle with a force that was robbing humanity of it's humanity and there was no sense mincing words about the consequences. He would have hated the Nazis. They were everything he despised about the regressive nature of humanity. The were devoid of all hope and their perverse use of the philosophy would have sickened him. This is a book that is still very valid and vital to the health of humanity. It should be read and reread.

Very metaphorical and symbolistic. Not an easy read. Research the book for further explanations and meanings.

I bought the Kindle version of the book and it is not Thus Spoke Zarathustra but War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells

The only book that I have taken with me when I was moving all my stuff from one country to another. I bought the first copy when I was 18 and I found this copy on Amazon Kindle 20 years later.
