Zarathustra for Kids
John Holbo (National University of Singapore) has undertaken a new project: a version of Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra for kids. It’s illustrated, and written in the style of Dr. Seuss. It’s called On Beyond Zarathustra: A Parody for All and None, and samples from it have been posted on his website (and Crooked Timber). Below are images from the first few pages:
There’s much more of the book here. See also Holbo’s illustrated translations of three of Plato’s dialogues.
Thanks for the link!
This is absolutely ridiculous. Lets indoctrinate our kids with a over-simplified version of Zarathustra with cartoons. I’m at a loss at how anybody thought this was a good idea.
Nietzche is probably rolling in his grave right now.
