Here in one volume, are the essential writings in the 34 notebook's Cioran left behind at his death, not a journal but a sort of exercise manual, in which he tries out his formulations, perfects the expression of his obsessions and whims. The Notebooks are rich in anecdotes, accounts of meetings, portraits of friends and enemies, descriptions of excursions and sleepless nights. Here are the lists, day after day, of failures, sufferings, anxieties, terrors, rages, and humiliations, curiously at odds with the daytime Cioran, so mocking and tonic, so comical and various. These brief entries constitute a backstage glimpse of a tormented mind, wise in its very torments, solitary in its wisdom. No library descriptions found. |

A la moindre déprime en vue, je me jette dessus et je finis toujours par me marrer (il y a toujours un plus pessimiste que soi!)
Pour vous donner un avant goût:

"dans un monde sans mélancolie les rossignols devraient cracher et le lys ouvrir un bordel" ( )
