Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The Main Works in One Volume

The famous German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, whose life and spiritual quests occurred in the 19th century, was fully in demand in the 20th century. Reassessment of values and the abolition of norms; a free mind that exists beyond good and... evil; the Übermensch, overcoming the "trembling creature" within - for the sake of the creator within himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche anticipated all forthcoming cataclysms, had the most significant influence of all philosophers on decadent art, permeated modernist painting with his ideas, and gave impetus to existentialism. "In him, as in a focus, is concentrated all that ever entered the human soul with horror and delight, tenderness and fury, storm and silence, clear sky and sultry cloud... Nietzsche revived in German culture all that is still alive for us in the East: it is now ridiculous to connect the East with the West when Nietzsche's very personality embodies this connection" (Andrei Bely).
