Robinson was the highest-profile appointment the women’s game has seen, someone whose name had been shortlisted for the job now held by Trevor Bayliss. Rather than offer support for his defeated captain, it was a brutal exposition on the failings of the team, utterly withering, so that Edwards was rendered all but speechless until the coach had had his say. Realistically, she must have known the writing was on the wall in the aftermath of that last defeat, at the hands of Australia, when the habitual post-match press conference, conducted by the captains on their own, was hijacked by Robinson. Robinson knows she has been too dominant a personality to slide unobtrusively into a playing role only. That would have rankled for she in turn has been insistent not only that she wanted to continue playing but also that she was still at the peak of her powers when at the crease. She has been explicitly sacked as captain and, despite being the benchmark for batting within her side, was actively encouraged, let us say, to also call it a day on her international career in as much as the coach Mark Robinson had informed her she would not be selected in the foreseeable future. It is abundantly clear that even at the age of 36 she has not gone gently into that good night. The signs have been there for a while, exacerbated by the dismal manner in which Edward’s team were eliminated from the World T20 a couple of months ago, that there was a storm gathering.

Thus spoke zarathustra goodreads7/7/2023 He divorced himself from society until his final collapse in 1899 when he became insane. Frederich Nietzsche (1844-1900) became the chair of classical philology at Basel University at the age of 24 until his bad health forced him to retire in 1879. With blazing intensity and poetic brilliance, Nietzsche argues that the meaning of existence is not to be found in religious pieties or meek submission to authority, but in an all-powerful life force: passionate, chaotic and free. Nietzsche's utterance 'God is dead', his insistence that the meaning of life is to be found in purely human terms, and his doctrine of the Superman and the will to power were all later seized upon and unrecognisably twisted by, among others, Nazi intellectuals. It describes how the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from his solitude in the mountains to tell the world that God is dead and that the Superman, the human embodiment of divinity, is his successor. Nietzsche was one of the most revolutionary and subversive thinkers in Western philosophy, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra remains his most famous and influential work. Friedrich Nietzsche's most accessible and influential philosophical work, misquoted, misrepresented, brilliantly original and enormously influential, Thus Spoke Zarathustra is translated from the German by R.J.
