Thus Spoke Zarathustra - by Nietzsche, Friedrich [Audiobook+eBook]

Thus Spoke Zarathustra (audiobook & book) - unabridged
Written by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Audiobook narrated by Michael Scott

According to the audiobook publisher "Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a 19th century literary masterpiece and key philosophical work by Nietzsche. Zarathustra descends from his cave in the mountains after ten years of solitude, brimming with wisdom and love and wants to teach humanity.

The individual lessons and sermons delivered by Zarathustra cover most of the general themes of Nietzsche’s mature philosophy, though often in highly symbolic and obscure form."

Wiki(d)pedia says that the book was "...described by Nietzsche himself as "the deepest ever written", the book is a dense and esoteric treatise on philosophy and morality, featuring as protagonist a fictionalized Zarathustra. A central irony of the text is that the style of the Bible is used by Nietzsche to present ideas of his which fundamentally oppose Judaeo-Christian morality and tradition."

Personally I think an audiobook is a bad way to get to grips with this work and I'm not keen on Nietzsche anyway, but I thought I'd up it to complement gsxrjunkie's "Beyond Good and Evil" audiobook (http://tracker.conspiracycentral.net/torrents-details.php?id=8040), which this precedes, chronologically speaking.

Ratio concerns? Here's an alternative source for you:

Or you can get it directly from the publisher for free (with a little more effort), here:

"Nietzsche was stupid and abnormal."
Leo Tolstoy, Russian mystic & novelist (1828 - 1910)

I think he may have been referring to his extraordinay moustache.

NB: This is the unabridged version: not the version that was on the tracker a few months ago.
