I sincerely look forward to your series covering Nietzsche’s “Thus Spake Zarathustra”. I'll reread it chapter by chapter as you cover each one. I paused to ponder that tidbit regarding German soldiers in combat reading it. Wouldn't it be fascinating to privy to their thoughts on it ?
Thank you. It would be fascinating to understanding their thoughts at the time. The material in "Thus Spake Zarathustra" is so immense that I could re-read and analyze that book for the rest of my life.
Indeed. Books that raise thought provoking questions require rereading several times. I first read Nietzsche when I was about 18, again ~ 30, again ~40, and again last year. We bring our lived experiences, worldview and perspective to our reading, and each year we've lived impacts our rereading; each rereading is fresh with new insights. It is just one reason the insipid books published today pale in comparison to classic literature.

There is a reason and book becomes a classic. It's evergreen. Relevant for all-time.
