Someone has taken Nietzsche's most earnest philosophical project and asked what it would look like if Zarathustra were having significantly more fun on the way down. The publisher name, 'Marzipan: Verlag für Lauwarme Wahrheiten' -- Marzipan: Publisher for Lukewarm Truths -- does more philosophical work than most actual publishers manage. The dripping ink on the Gothic font is a detail that suggests the designer made several good decisions in a row.
