Description: Qualification:ConversationsAuthorEM CioranDescriptionCioran, one of the great thinkers of our time, abandoned his friends and readers last year after a long illness. As a tribute, his lifelong editor, Gallimard, published shortly after this extraordinary volume of conversations with Cioran - among which, a very extensive one he had with Fernando Savater - which surprised more than one, since Cioran had always shown himself Reluctant, even opposed, to interviews. The fact is that what could have been a repetitive and somewhat boring compilation, as usually happens with this type of publications, turned out to be not only an already indispensable complement to his work, but almost a book written by Cioran himself. His followers and specialists will be particularly interested in the details that this "man without biography", as he defined himself, provides precisely about his life: for example, his "paradisiacal" childhood in Rasinari, his hometown in Transylvania, where the father was a priest, and the real "heartbreak" that going to study in Sibiu-Hermannstadt meant for him, or the university years in the hectic Bucharest of the 1920s and 1930s. Cioran also tells how, in 1947, at the age of 36, while translating Mallarmé into Romanian, he decided to choose French as his adopted language and the "emancipation" and "liberation" that this decision meant for him.EditorialTusquetsEdition3rd editionYear2001pages264BindingSoft coverCollectionMarginalMeasures21x14cmStateVery good condition
