Notas sobre «Así habló Zaratustra» de Anthony M. Ludovici.

INTRODUCTION BY MRS FORSTER-NIETZSCHE.

INTRODUCCIÓN DE LA SEÑORA FORSTER-NIETZSCHE.

HOW ZARATHUSTRA CAME INTO BEING.

CÓMO LLEGÓ A EXISTIR ZARATUSTRA.

"Zarathustra" is my brother's most personal work; it is the history of his most individual experiences, of his friendships, ideals, raptures, bitterest disappointments and sorrows.

«Zaratustra» es la obra más personal de mi hermano; es la historia de sus experiencias más individuales, de sus amistades, ideales, éxtasis, más amargas decepciones y tristezas.

Above it all, however, there soars, transfiguring it, the image of his greatest hopes and remotest aims.

Por encima de todo ello, sin embargo, se eleva, transfigurándolo, la imagen de sus más grandes esperanzas y sus metas más lejanas.

My brother had the figure of Zarathustra in his mind from his very earliest youth: he once told me that even as a child he had dreamt of him.

Mi hermano tuvo la figura de Zaratustra en su mente desde su más temprana juventud: una vez me dijo que incluso de niño había soñado con él.

At different periods in his life, he would call this haunter of his dreams by different names; "but in the end," he declares in a note on the subject, "I had to do a PERSIAN the honour of identifying him with this creature of my fancy.

En diferentes períodos de su vida, llamaba a este habitante de sus sueños con distintos nombres; «pero al final», declara en una nota sobre el asunto, «tuve que hacerle el honor a un PERSA de identificarlo con esta criatura de mi fantasía.

Persians were the first to take a broad and comprehensive view of history.

Los persas fueron los primeros en adoptar una visión amplia y comprehensiva de la historia.
