When Zarathustra was alone, however, he said to his heart: "Could it be possible! This old saint in the forest hath not yet heard of it, that GOD IS DEAD!" Often considered as Friedrich Nietzsche's best and most important work, Thus Spake Zarathustra is an undeniably significant chapter in both literary and intellectual history. A philosophical treatise, a collection of poetry and a parody of the Bible, it chronicles the fictitious travels of the Perisan prophet Zarathustra, or Zoroaster as he is more commonly known, exploring for the first time the idea of man as the transition between ape and 'superman'. Written in a style considered experimental at the time, Thus Spake Zarathustra represents a cornerstone of the development of the author's influential philosophy, he himself considering the work to be his magnum opus and 'the deepest ever written'.
