Summary
Paul du Breuil: Zarathustra and the Transformation of the World
The aim of this book is not simply to tell the "history" of Zarathustra/Zoroaster, his legend, his life, his sayings and the sayings that are said to be his. With it, we want to achieve both a less technical intention and a more comprehensive aspiration at the same time. Certainly, we will roughly stick to the chronological development, from the proto-Iranian ancient age in which the Aryan Prophet appeared, and we will follow the important stages of the history of Zoroastrian thought - which is not limited to the thought of the Zoroastrian religion - with nuances imposed by the numerous currents of thought purified in the river of Zarathustra's ethics. The undertaking is not simple and we believe that we cannot tackle it properly if we ourselves are not intimately convinced of the greatness of the "Zarathustranic" message in the same way that, in order to interpret it well, we must also love Chopin.
