The modern British philosopher, Anthony M. Ludovici, said that this text “is unquestionably Nietzsche’s opus magnum.” However, he warns the reader that since “the book with the most mysterious, startling, or suggestive title, will always stand the best chance of being purchased by those who have no other criteria to guide them in their choice than the aspect of a title-page … ‘Thus Spake Zarathustra’ is almost always the first and often the only one of Nietzsche’s books that falls into the hands of the uninitiated.” He therefore recommends reading this text alongside some scholarly annotations, which Ludovici gratefully supplies in the volume read here. To keep Ludovici’s intention, in this version of ‘Zarathustra’ the reader includes these annotations (where available) immediately after the reading. Summary by jvanstan (16 hr 24 min)

Fascinating parables about finding strength and individuality despite the pressure of the conformist mob. Narrator reads very well and even has consistent voices for recurring characters.

Narration and sound clear, the occasional howler of a mispronunciation aside. The book's worth listening to as a story.
Incredible

Among the most important texts ever written. As relevant to modernity today as it was then.

Nietzsche got this completely wrong. Secular Humanism has taught me that value is not determined by strength but instead determined solely based on how BIPOC and non-binary one is. E.G. A 2 spirited member of the Lakota Nation is superior cis gendered white male. Any other form of valuation is error. The farther you go from whiteness the more superior one becomes. It is really simple. The fact Nietzsche wrote so many long and complex diatribes and still got it wrong all point out just how dumb and white he was. All ethics and all philosophy can be summarized as: "Don't be white" Any philosophy or ethics that contradicts this simple statement is a evil.
