Book Description
About the Book
As man arose out of animal, so out of man superman shall come," said Sri Aurobindo. Overman is a metaphysical book which dwells upon the concept of the ultimate progression of man into a highly enlightened species called the supramental being, towards which, the author says, the intermediary stage (the Overman) has already been reached. The Mother's French term, surhomme, meaning the intermediary between the human and the supramental being, the author feels, has been wrongly translated as 'superman'. Therefore, he says that, "to clearly indicate the place the intermediary being occupies in the ongoing evolution beyond humankind, I find it essential to translate surhomme as 'Overman".

About the Author
Georges Van Vrekhem is a Flemish speaking Belgian. He became quite well-known as a journalist, poet and playwright. He became acquainted with the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother in 1964. In 1970 he joined the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, and in 1978 he moved to Auroville, which has been his home ever since. He has translated into Dutch several books of Sri Aurobindo, the Mother and Satprem, as well as selected writings from the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. He is also the author of Beyond Man-Life and the works of Sri Aurobindo.
