RJ Hollingdale, who translated and wrote the introduction to this edition, describes it as an “eruption of manner”. Nietzsche says in Ecce Homo that he chose Zarathustra as the voice for his philosophy because Zarathustra was the first to see within the battle between good and evil the essence of many other arguments and for upholding truthfulness as a supreme virtue.īefore we can even discuss the content of the book, we must discuss the style of the book that the reader will be confronted with from the first page. In it, Nietzsche chooses to express his ideas through the voice of the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra (aka Zoroaster). Thus Spoke Zarathustra is perhaps Nietzsche’s most enduringly well-read work with non-academics.
