The central concepts of the book are the “Ubermensch� and the idea of eternal return. The Ubermensch (Zarathustra) is, in short, an idealized human being who has transcended and overcome all suffering, misery, and even death, and in doing so, he rejects all conventional morality and even Christianity. (“God is dead.�) However, this dismissal of God also sounds strange because it was Nietzsche who said it. His writings have a kind of mystical power. They are a warning to man.
Eternal return is the ultimate life-affirming concept: all things return in perpetuity and have absolute value just as they appear before our eyes, and therefore life is to be loved as it is.
This book has been nicknamed “the Bible for modern man�. It is difficult to understand because of its many metaphors, analogies, and parables, but it is a book that we must read.
