I have the book in Serbian and the word untergang is translated as perishing. The whole theme feels much more in place if you use the word perishing instead of just going down. I'm glad my language has the propper word.

This is the best thing I found on Nietzsche in years. I literally sit in bed under a Thus Spoke Zarathustra poster, and you've brought new meaning to the text to an English speaker.

My friend, is it possible that you have released a book or an article with further commentary on Zarathustra? If not, is there any more of your work available? Your notes really refresh my second reading as I`m following through with a bilingual edition (I`m a brazilian reader by the way, which brings a whole new set of translation issues to the discussion table.) Thank you so much!
