German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's nineteenth-century parable about Zarathustra, a superior young man who proclaims the death of God and challenges mankind to face its destiny.
In his thirtieth year Zarathustra, the archetypal "Ubermensch" representative of the highest passion and creativity, abandons his home for the mountains, where he lives on a level of experience far above the conventional standards of good and evil.
