nietzsche is as much a poet as a philosopher, and he is so much more then both. a prophet for the nihilists, he gives meaning to a world that seems to resist all explanation. this book may take me a lifetime to understand but already it has changed how I view things.
After reading Beyond Good and Evil, I felt it was necessary to go back and seek recommendations for what would be considered more accessible works of Nietzsche. After receiving advice, I was lead to Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Just as I have read/heard other people’s reflections, it seems one does not simply read Nietzsche from start to finish without becoming at least somewhat frustrated, or simply overwhelmed. I am not qualified to make a concrete statement on this, however this has been the trend that I noticed with reader reception on Nietzsche. Having said that, although this book is abstruse, it is incredibly detailed with existentialist philosophy. Written like a novel, but in typical Nietzschean fashion, ordered with aphorisms, this book draws on many of Nietzsche’s ideas like God is Dead and the Superman concepts. However, to summarise this book is to leave out so much. So, if I am to recommend this book, I would recommend preparing to expect not being able to following every line/idea - just as it usually is with Nietzsche.
Some fascinating quotes that I took away from the book are as follows:
"Yet tell me, my brothers: if a goal for humanity is still lacking, is there not still lacking - humanity itself?”
"But you yourself will always be the worst enemy you can encounter; you yourself lie in wait for yourself in caves and forests.”
"There are many souls one will never uncover, unless one invents them first.”
"The creator wanted to look away from himself, so he created the world.”

It will excite any teenager, but highly recommended to anyone.
Zwei Sterne weil Zarathustra auch viele gute Ratschläge hat. Um diese zu erhalten muss ich aber nicht dieses Buch lesen, sondern kann auf viele andere Quellen zurückgreifen.
Dieses Buch erinnert mich an den Deutschen Geist. Hochmut, die Welt vor Augen und immer das Beste anstreben, um gleichzeitig andere zu diskreditieren.
Versteht mich nicht falsch, die Offenheit, sich von religiösen Dogmen "Gott ist tot" zu verabschieden ist hervorragend und zu Nietzsches Zeit brandaktuell gewesen.
"Der Übermensch", die Unterstützung von Krieg der Freiheit und des Sieges Willen, des Fraues Willen die Schwangerschaft und die Peitsche, keine Bildung dem Pöbel... All das hat leider dazu geführt, dass ich dieses Buch nicht ausstehen kann.
Respekt an den Autor aus einer anderen Zeit. Heutzutage lese ich lieber Siddhartha. Dieses Buch erinnert mich zu sehr an die Doktrinen des späteren Dritten Reiches.
