Your Definition

A [philosophical] novel by Friedrich Nietzsche written in the 19th century. In German it is titled: Also sprach Zarathustra. In English, it is also called "Thus Spoke Zarathustra".

Or, simplified: Therefore, >> he (Zarathustra) spoke of >> thee. (subject)

It is a book widely regarded as Nietzsche's best [work].

The title name Thus Spake Zarathustra, is meant to be ironic and cynical, like morbid sarcasm; and is suggestive of the apprehensive atmosphere the book displays. It explains why Zarathustra turned himself into a Prophet, during an era where God is dead (metaphor) in order to quell and stop disorder and confusion in [the Middle East].

Despite Nietzsche being a good person; It is a very dangerous book, that should only be read by mature and [responsible] individuals. (this is why Germany and Russia have attempted to ban books written by Nietzsche.)

Basically, it tells the story of a real Avestan (Aryan) prophet named Zoroaster who lived about 2,500 years ago; and whom started a religion (see: Zoroastrianism) in order to overthrow a malignant, [illegitimate] and dystopian Empire; (see: Babylon) and to help uproot it, in order to create a new social order. Essentially, Zoroaster (or Zarathustra) attempts to become a Nobleman and wise prophet among the populace; or more specifically, an Übermensch.
