Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Whether interpreting Nietzsche’s masterpiece as a tragedy or reading it in dialogue with the New Testament and Christian asceticism, these studies emphasize the difficulties and suffering endured by the character Zarathustra in his search for an affirmative life. They provide together a more complex and even darker view of this book than the idyllic and poetic picture we may have.
