Summary

In "Thus Spoke Zarathustra," Friedrich Nietzsche presents a philosophically rich and poetically profound exploration of morality, individualism, and the nature of existence. Written in a unique blend of prose and verse, the book is structured as a series of discourses delivered by the titular prophet Zarathustra, who descends from the mountains to share his insights with humanity. Nietzsche employs a lyrical style that intertwines existential themes with a critical reexamination of traditional values, challenges pervasive nihilism, and advocates for the creation of one's own values, encapsulated in his concept of the Übermensch. This seminal work is often regarded as a cornerstone of existential philosophy and modern thought, reflecting the anxieties and aspirations of the late 19th century. Friedrich Nietzsche, a pivotal figure in Western philosophy, wrote "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" during a period of personal introspection and health struggles, which informed his radical ideas on morality, religion, and individuality. Influenced by his reading of Arthur Schopenhauer and the burgeoning intellectual currents of his time, Nietzsche sought to articulate a vision that transcends conventional beliefs, prompting a reevaluation of truth and personal agency. His unique cultural context, marked by the decline of religious authority and the rise of secular humanism, played a significant role in shaping the development of his philosophical ideas. This book is essential reading for anyone intrigued by the complexities of human existence and the quest for authenticity. Nietzsche's incisive prose challenges readers to confront their assumptions about morality and societal norms, making it a transformative experience for both philosophical novices and seasoned thinkers. "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" invites you to embrace the journey of self-overcoming and to explore the radical potential of your own will, leading you toward a deeper understanding of life.

    I Don't Want to Go to School...

    “I don’t want to gp. I just can’t do it anymore.” "My stomach hurts, and I'm afraid of throwing up." "It sucks. What’s the point.” "I'm tired. I need a break. "I'm just fine where I am, in my room."
Since the health crisis, Thierry Delcourt has observed a considerable increase in children who cannot or no longer want to go to school, not only for problems of violence, racketeering and bullying, but rather for much more troubling reasons—hostility, laziness, convenience or opportunism. According to the author, who has cross-checked data from National Education and the CNED, absenteeism at school has increased by 10% over the last 3 years. 
This book aims to enlighten anxious parents, disoriented teachers, and psychologists who are overwhelmed by these situations, and to provide an approach to understand and overcome these obstacles that lead to school dropout and, in the long run, to school failure. Each chapter refers to a particular situation, analyzes the reason for it and then offers advice on how to combat this scourge.
