G. Sebald, Goethe, Rilke, Herta Müller, and Elfriede Jelinek.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThus Spake Zarathustra\u003c\/i\u003e, Nietzsche’s infamous protagonist sets off on a grand and noble quest to find meaning in a secular world and to live joyfully alongside the knowledge of death. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this new translation by Michael Hulse—the first in English by a poet—Zarathustra is revealed in all his bold and ironic splendor as a man who prizes self-worth above all else as a moral code to live by. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRadical, uncategorizable, contradictory, and often humorous, \u003ci\u003eThus Spake Zarathustra\u003c\/i\u003e is a grand celebration of human existence by one of the most influential thinkers of the past two centuries.“Michael Hulse’s translation of this extraordinary work feels absolutely fresh and true. As in his poetry, all the words feel new-minted and authentic, full of energy and understanding. As Zarathustra says, ‘The self is always listening and seeking’: reading this version of his story is like seeing the colours of an Old Master for the first time.” —Ruth Padel, Professor of Poetry, King’s College London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“It is often said that poetry is what is lost in translation. Given that Michael Hulse is both a major poet and one of the great translators of German literature, it is not surprising that he has done full justice to \u003ci\u003eThus Spake Zarathustra.\u003c\/i\u003e English-speaking readers are indebted to him for a sparkling, transparent rendering of Nietzsche’s poetic philosophical masterpiece.” —Raymond Tallis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A crystalline translation of a work that many regard as Nietzsche’s greatest, yet whose elusively extravagant style has often baffled, indeed repelled, Anglophones. The poet Michael Hulse renders the complexity of Nietzsche’s prose-poem—its dramatic claims, its mystical power, and its philosophical richness—in spellbinding language.” —Simon May\u003cb\u003eFriedrich Nietzsche\u003c\/b\u003e (1844–1900) was a German philosopher, essayist, and critic whose writings about morality, truth, language, aesthetics, and nihilism are considered cornerstones of Western philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Hulse\u003c\/b\u003e is a poet, translator and critic. He has won numerous awards for his poetry and his 2013 collection, \u003ci\u003eHalf Life\u003c\/i\u003e, was chosen as a Book of the Year in the \u003ci\u003eAustralian Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e. He has translated many works from the German, including titles by Goethe, Rilke, and W. G. Sebald.
