Tako je govorio Zaratustra

This is undoubtedly the most original, not to mention the most significant, work of Nietzsche. It does not follow any author, but bears the unique personal stamp of its creator. It is not only his most unusual but also his most personal work. Neither before nor after Thus spoke Zarathustra, Nothing has created anything like it. Neither the previous works hint at such a development, nor do the latter continue in the same direction. It was as if Nietzsche had suddenly succumbed to some irresistible temptation, some irresistible need, as if he had found a new, unrepeatable expression for his basic philosophical thought, as if he spoke his own language just for a moment.
