查拉斯图拉如是说(Thus Spoke Zarathustra)简介：

Thus Spoke Zarathustra sometimes translated Thus Spake Zarathustra), subtitled A Book for All and None, is a short philosophical novel by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, composed in four parts between 1883 and 1885. Much of the work deals with ideas such as the "eternal recurrence of the same", the parable on the "death of God", and the "prophecy" of the Overman. 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 Nietzsche mimics the style of the Bible in order to present ideas which fundamentally oppose Christian and Jewish morality and tradition. 　　尼采曾经是个让许多人十分痴迷的人。他精神上的高贵、类似自强不息的品性、看问题的透彻和真诚，使他在人们的心目中远远超越于一般的学者。相对而言，他的明显的偏执、狂妄等病态心理似乎不重要了；而且，好象是这样的个性配合他的灵感和天赋造就了他独特的人生体验。

这位伟大的思想家，他一生中写下很多不朽的著作。著名的《查拉斯图拉如是说》融 会了他毕生的精华，查拉斯图拉其实就是尼采本人的写照。《查拉斯图拉如是说》是尼采最成熟的作品。尼采假托古波斯琐罗亚德教创始人查拉斯图拉修行多年后下降人世传经布道的传奇故事，阐述了作者激越高迈的哲学思想，用如诗如歌的语言，道出了作者对人生、痛苦、欢乐、期许的深邃体悟。正是在本书中，尼采提出了诸如“上帝死了”“超人”等对后世思想界和社会影响深远的思想。

尼采的妹妹曾撰写过长文回忆尼采创作本书的过程，为了让读者更好地理解本书中的思想，我们特将该文选译出来，附在正文后，希望它能对大家阅读该书有所助益。
