Cioran has a delicate, and, above all, gallant intelligence. . . . His incomparable work is the last great expression of the European mind. --David Rieff Cioran has adelicate, and, above all, gallant intelligence. . . . His incomparable work isthe last great expression of the European mind. --David Rieff A sort of final philosopher of the Western world. . . . Cioran s statements have the compression of poetry and the audacity of cosmic clowning.

Reseña del editor:

In this collection of aphorisms and short essays, E.M. Cioran sets about the task of peeling off the layers of false realities with which society masks the truth. For him, real hope lies in this task, and thus, while he perceives the world darkly, he refuses to give in to despair. He hits upon this ultimate truth by developing his notion of human history and events as "a procession of delusions," striking out at the so-called "Fallacies of Hope." By examining the relationship between truth and action and between absolutes, unknowables, and frauds, Cioran comes out, for once, in favor of being.
