Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book for All and None — Page 14

English → Korean Preface Level 9/10

"

"

The first part of "Zarathustra" was written in about ten days—that is to say, from the beginning to about the middle of February 1883.

「차라투스트라」의 첫 번째 부분은 약 열흘 만에 쓰였다—즉, 1883년 2월 초부터 중순경까지.

"The last lines were written precisely in the hallowed hour when Richard Wagner gave up the ghost in Venice."

"마지막 줄들은 리하르트 바그너가 베네치아에서 숨을 거둔 바로 그 신성한 시간에 쓰였다."

With the exception of the ten days occupied in composing the first part of this book, my brother often referred to this winter as the hardest and sickliest he had ever experienced.

이 책의 첫 번째 부분을 집필하는 데 쓰인 열흘을 제외하고, 나의 오빠는 이 겨울을 자신이 경험한 가장 힘들고 가장 많이 아팠던 겨울로 자주 언급했다.

He did not, however, mean thereby that his former disorders were troubling him, but that he was suffering from a severe attack of influenza which he had caught in Santa Margherita, and which tormented him for several weeks after his arrival in Genoa.

그러나 그것은 예전의 질환들이 그를 괴롭히고 있다는 뜻이 아니라, 산타 마르게리타에서 걸린 심한 독감으로 고생하고 있었으며, 그것이 제노바에 도착한 후 몇 주 동안 그를 계속 괴롭혔다는 의미였다.

As a matter of fact, however, what he complained of most was his spiritual condition—that indescribable forsakenness—to which he gives such heartrending expression in "Zarathustra".

그러나 사실, 그가 가장 많이 호소한 것은 그의 정신적 상태—말로 표현할 수 없는 그 버려진 듯한 느낌—였으며, 그는 「차라투스트라」에서 이를 가슴 아프게 표현하고 있다.

Even the reception which the first part met with at the hands of friends and acquaintances was extremely disheartening: for almost all those to whom he presented copies of the work misunderstood it.

첫 번째 부분이 친구들과 지인들로부터 받은 반응조차 매우 실망스러운 것이었다. 그가 작품의 사본을 건넨 거의 모든 이들이 그것을 오해했기 때문이다.

"I found no one ripe for many of my thoughts; the case of 'Zarathustra' proves that one can speak with the utmost clearness, and yet not be heard by any one.

"나는 나의 많은 생각들을 받아들일 준비가 된 사람을 아무도 찾지 못했다. '차라투스트라'의 경우는 아무리 명확하게 말해도 아무에게도 들리지 않을 수 있다는 것을 증명한다.
