‘Also sprach Zarathustra. Ein Buch f’r Alle und Keinen’ is one of Nietzsche’s most controversial works. Part poetry, part parody, the book is, as a matter of fact, a philosophic dissertation and what I’ve discovered rather with amazement is that the book addresses questions I wouldn’t dare to ask …
