Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a treatise by Friedrich Nietzsche, written in four parts and published in German between 1883 and 1885. The work is among the first of Nietzsche's mature philosophy and is considered the masterpiece of his career. It received little attention during his lifetime, but its influence since his death has been considerable both in the arts and in philosophy.Written in the form of prose narrative, Thus Spoke Zarathustra presents Neitzsche's mature philosopy through the protagonist Zarathustra, who after years of meditation has come down from a mountain to offer his wisdom to the world. It is this work in which Nietzsche made his famous (and much misconstrued) statement that "God is dead" and in which he presented some of the most influential and well-known ideas of his philosophy, including those of the Übermensch ("superman") and the "will to power."Part of the bestselling Capstone Classics series. This high-quality, hardcover volume is a must-have for readers interested in the philosophy of Nietzsche.

The Book of Mirdad, the timeless allegorical story which has touched the hearts of so many readers, continues to show new generations how it is possible to expand one's consciousness, to uncover God in man by dissolving man's sense of duality. Mikhail Naimy, in a similar style to Gibran, unravels one layer after another, showing that the words of his message have descended from some mysterious source. The book is essentially a set of question and answer between Mirdad and his disciples, especially his chief disciple, Naronda. These dialogues occurred during the time he was admitted as a servant in the monastery of Altar Peak, built where Noah's Ark came to rest after the flood waters subsided. Mirdad's teachings cover all the important life issues such as love, the master-servant relationship, creative silence, money, the moneylender and the debtor, the cycle of time and death, repentance, old age, and so on. The culmination, and indeed the message, is that Mirdad's own Ark is the Ark of Holy Understanding, which will bring humankind through another deluge, greater than Noah's, when Heaven will be revealed on Earth. Mirdad's words are the words of an enlightened Sufi master.
