Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None, also kwnon and translated as Thus Spake Zarathustra, is a philosophical novel written by Friedrich Nietzsche and published between 1883 and 1885. It brings together the main ideas of Nietzsche's philosophy and is considered the philosopher's masterpiece.
Zarathustra is a hermit who lives in the mountains, isolated, who one day decides to descend and share his knowledge and wisdom with the people. Through the figure of him, the book tells us a series of stories with facts and reflections of the prophet Zarathustra. Through the stories of the prophet, Nietzsche shapes his philosophical ideas in a unique way: it is literature and philosophy at the same time.
One of the most important concepts in the book is the idea of "Superman", a guide to avoid falling into false beliefs and create new values. The superman is the replacement of God as the end to which human effort should be directed. It is necessary to overcome the old and think and create something new.
Other topics covered in this book are the state, marriage or friendship; that is, problems of modern man.
