Review: For your sanity, avoid the Thomas Common translation - The Common translation is allegedly written in the voice of a King James Bible, making a dense read needlessly more difficult. I find it far worse than KJV language and this book is already a heavy lift. Go with Kaufman or any other (relatively) plain English translation
Review: It’s in archaic English

EDITION: “Thus Spake Zarathustra”, Nietzsche, 1997, Wordsworth Classic Edition, ISBN: 978-1-85326-776-5, paperback. Since I first used Wordsworth edition, they have progressed immeasurably both in terms of the print and paper quality and in the content, especially commentary, i.e. not the original text. This is no exception. Printed on quality paper with an extensive, helpful introduction by Nicholas Davey, Nietzche’s text has received careful treatment, presentation and translation by Thomas Common. “There was it also where I picked up from the path the word ‘Superman’, and that man is something to be surpassed. That man’s is a bridge, not a goal - rejoicing over his noontide's and evenings, as advances to a new rosy dawns - “ (P 192). Although there were times when I would have liked commentary, a guidance, it forced deeper thinking. I recommend the edition, especially at the price a paid. . For anyone wanting to research further, I recommend Leonard Bernstein’s lecture on Richard Strauss’s music, “Thus Spake Zarathrustra’. Although he was talking to a hall and television audience of young people, Bernstein typically deals with the text and music at a high level to advance understanding. Well worth a watch to understand both Nietzsche, Strauss and music. All recommended.
