Thus Spake Zarathustra
Friedrich Nietzsche
New York, 1896
 
First edition in English, American Issue.  Published in concert with a U.K. printing by Henry & Co.  The exact publication dates have been difficult to track down.  I've seen contemporary British book publication catalogs listing the British issue as occurring in August, which would place it after this American issue, and I've also seen other documents reversing the priority.  Nevertheless, the issues appeared within months of one another.
 
The best copy around - unrepaired and complete with all ads. Sharp and sound with bright gilt. Clean interior with owner's name on the front endpaper.  Half title and title page carelessly opened resulting in two ~1.5 inch closed tears, front joint a touch rubbed otherwise a nice, Fine copy.
 
Nietzsche's most famous work in which he expounds his views on eternal recurrence, the death of God, and the Overman(Superman) - tremendously influential across a wide segment of writers, artists, musicians, and others.
