Notes on "Thus Spake Zarathustra" by Anthony M. Ludovici.
Notes sur « Ainsi Parlait Zarathoustra » par Anthony M. Ludovici.
INTRODUCTION BY MRS FORSTER-NIETZSCHE.
INTRODUCTION PAR MME FORSTER-NIETZSCHE.
HOW ZARATHUSTRA CAME INTO BEING.
COMMENT ZARATHOUSTRA VIT LE JOUR.
"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.
« Zarathoustra » est l'œuvre la plus personnelle de mon frère ; c'est l'histoire de ses expériences les plus intimes, de ses amitiés, de ses idéaux, de ses extases, de ses plus amères déceptions et de ses chagrins.
Above it all, however, there soars, transfiguring it, the image of his greatest hopes and remotest aims.
Par-dessus tout cela, cependant, plane, le transfigurant, l'image de ses plus grands espoirs et de ses buts les plus lointains.
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.
Mon frère avait la figure de Zarathoustra dans l'esprit dès sa plus tendre jeunesse : il m'a dit une fois que même enfant il en avait rêvé.
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.
À différentes périodes de sa vie, il donnait à ce visiteur de ses rêves des noms différents ; « mais en fin de compte, » déclare-t-il dans une note à ce sujet, « je dus faire à un PERSAN l'honneur de l'identifier à cette créature de mon imagination.
Persians were the first to take a broad and comprehensive view of history.
Les Perses furent les premiers à adopter une vision large et globale de l'histoire.
