TEHRAN – Novinketab is about to release an audio version of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s “Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None” in Persian. 

A tremendously influential philosophical work of the late nineteenth century, the book is also a literary masterpiece in which the prehistoric Persian religious leader Zarathustra serves as the voice for Friedrich Nietzsche’s views.
