The profoundest book there is, born from the innermost richness of truth, an inexhaustible well into which no bucket descends without coming up with gold and goodness.``Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1885) was Nietzsche`s own favourite among all his books and has proved to be his most popular, having sold millions of copies in many different languages.
