Award-winning author Javier Marias weaves a darkly thrilling tale of love betrayal & lives played out in the unhappy shadow of history As a young man Juan de Vere takes a job that will haunt him for the rest of his life Hi employer is Eduardo Muriel a famous film director sophisticated & discreet Muriel's wife Beatriz is a soft ripe woman who slips through her husband's home like an unwanted ghost finding solace in other beds & on the periphery of their lives stands Dr Jorge Van Vechten a old family friend with a shadowy past Juan enters eagerly into Muriel's world of glamour & prestige but as time passes he is troubled by many questions that seem to have no answer Why does Muriel hate Beatriz? How did Beatriz meet Van Vechten? & what happened in the chaotic years after the war? As Juan learns more about his employers his own innocence begins to fall away Though he starts off as a mere observer he is soon unable to stand on the side lines compelled to interfere ever more dangerously in the dark interior of other people's lives Marias presents a study of the infinitely permeable boundaries between private & public selves between observer & participant between the deceptions we suffer from others & those we enact upon ourselves' No one else anywhere is writing quite like this' Daily Telegraph on The Infatuations ...

Translated by Thomas Common With an Introduction by Nicholas Davey This astonishing series of aphorisms put into the mouth of the Persian sage Zarathustra or Zoroaster contains the kernel of Nietzsche's thought God is dead' he tells us Christianity is decadent leading mankind into a slave morality concerned not with this life but with the next Nietzsche emphasises the UEbermensch or Superman whose will to power makes him the creator of a new heroic mentality The intensely felt ideas are expressed in prose-poetry of indefinable beauty Though misused by the German National Socialist party as a spurious justification of their creed the book also had a profound influence on early twentieth-century writers such as Shaw Mann Gide Lawrence & Sartre ...

Friedrich Nietzsche's most accessible & influential philosophical work misquoted misrepresented brilliantly original & enormously influential Thus Spoke Zarathustra is translated from the German by RJ Hollingdale in Penguin Classics Nietzsche was one of the most revolutionary & subversive thinkers in Western philosophy & Thus Spoke Zarathustra remains his most famous & influential work It describes how the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from his solitude in the mountains to tell the world that God is dead & that the Superman the human embodiment of divinity is his successor Nietzsche's utterance ' God is dead' his insistence that the meaning of life is to be found in purely human terms & his doctrine of the Superman & the will to power were all later seized upon & unrecognisably twisted by among others Nazi intellectuals With blazing intensity & poetic brilliance Nietzsche argues that the meaning of existence is not to be found in religious pieties or meek submission to authority but in an all-powerful life force passionate chaotic & free Frederich Nietzsche (1844-1900) became the chair of classical philology at Basel University at the age of 24 until his bad health forced him to retire in 1879 He divorced himself from society until his final collapse in 1899 when he became insane A powerfully original thinker Nietzsche's influence on subsequent writers such as George Bernard Shaw DH Lawrence Thomas Mann & Jean-Paul Sartre was considerable If you enjoyed Thus Spoke Zarathustra you might like Nietzsche's Beyond Good & Evil also available in Penguin Classics' Enigmatic vatic emphatic passionate often breathtakingly insightful his works together make a unique statement in the literature of European ideas' A C Grayling ...
