From The Works Of Friedrich Nietzsche, Volume VIII. From the copyright page: 'Published June, 1896. Reprinted July, 1902; October 1906; December 1908; June, 1924.' 

Condition Continued: The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The junctures between the inside covers and end papers are flawless. The interior of the book is in excellent condition. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I haven't found any instances of soiling. There is a speck-sized little dark dot just below the top corner of four pages, which I don't regard as soiling. The pages are lightly, but uniformly toned. I'm not finding any conspicuous creasing, no turned-down corners or placeholder creases. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. As was the case with another book in this series which I recently listed and quickly sold, there are quite a few uncut (at the bottom edge) pages in this book. That may account for why the pages are in such good condition, this book has likely never been fully read, or read at all. 

The Macmillan Company, New York, 1924. Hardcover. Written by Friedrich Nietzsche. Translated by Alexander Tille. 

   'Thus Spoke Zarathustra deals with multiple subjects ranging from the mundane to philosophical, such as metaphysics, war, perspectivism, and the amorality of nature; it also began or elaborated on many of Nietzsche's core ideas such as the Übermensch, the death of God, the will to power, and eternal recurrence. Nietzsche considered Thus Spoke Zarathustra his magnum opus, writing: 'With Thus Spoke Zarathustra I have given mankind the greatest present that has ever been made to it so far (sound familiar?). This book, with a voice bridging centuries, is not only the highest book there is, the book that is truly characterized by the air of the heights--the whole fact of man lies beneath it at a tremendous distance--it is also the deepest, born out of the innermost wealth of truth, an inexhaustible well to which no pail descends without coming up again filled with gold and goodness.' 

In a letter of February 1884, he wrote: 'With Zarathustra I believe I have brought the German language to its culmination. After Luther and Goethe there was still a third step to be made.'  '
