Explanation In Pursuance Of Books History and Utopia
In this book, Cioran writes of politics, of history, and of the utopian dream."A small masterwork . . . a stringent examination of some persistent and murky notions in human history. . . . It is best to read Cioran while sitting. The impact upon the intellect can be temporarily stunning, and motor systems may give way under the assault."—Joseph Patrick Kennedy, Houston Chronicle
"Cioran has a claim to be regarded as among the handful of original minds . . . writing today."—New York Times
"A sort of final philosopher of the Western world. [Cioran's] statements have the compression of poetry and the audacity of cosmic clowning."—Washington Post
E. M. Cioran (1911-1995) was born and educated in Romania and lived in Paris from 1937 until his death. He is the author of numerous works, including On the Heights of Despair, also available from the University of Chicago Press.

جنيات الجحيم اشتهرن بأنهن سابقات على الآلهة بما في ذلك جوبيتر. مما يعني أسبقية الانتقام على الألوهية. وهو الحدس الرئيسي الذي تميزت به الميثولوجيا القديمة.
أقرب إلى الهذيان! لكن رغم اختلافي معه ورغم تطرفه الشديد إلا أنه أعجبني في بعض النقاط ولامستني وخصوصا في رسالته الأولى إلى صديقه والتي تحدث فيها عن الوطن .
By sanctifying History in order to discredit God, Marxism has merely rendered Him more peculiar and more haunting. You can stifle every impulse in humanity except the need for an Absolute, which will survive the destruction of temples and even the disappearance of religion on earth. Russia and the Virus of Liberty, pg. 25.Wow, History and Utopia is truly blowing my mind right now. I think I described it as a "mind orgasm" last night, but I was fresh off the dank and my descriptive capacities
Another deluge of Cioranosophy from the Romanian's mature period; perpetually ensconced in his hatefully beloved Paris and letting the fiery currents of a raging consciousness pour forth at propitious moments to be captured and imprisoned upon the page by means of the rigid strictures of the French language, a tongue whose very alienating syntax seemed to accommodate itself so well to the task of expressing this writer's brand of tortured genius. The six essays contained within reflect Cioran's
في هذا الكتاب رأيت (اميل) ـًا آخر غير الذي قرأت له قبلًا ..أعجبني جدً في صرحاتهِخصوصًا في فصل الطغاة.يستحق القراءة!
وأخيرًا كان كتابًا مرهقا. أول قراءة لي لسيوران تكللت بكم هائل من الاقتباسات الوجوديّة وبخيبة أمل كبيرة عرفت بها الفرق بين أن أُعجب بكاتبٍ من اقتباساته وبين أن أقرأ له كتابا كاملا. كان التقييم ينخفض كلما تقدمت في الصفحات إما لتناقض سيوران نفسه أو لفقداني لفكرة النصّ ولا أدري في الحقيقة هل كان السبب سيوران أم المترجم.. أم أنا لأنني فجأة أحسست بأنه لو تم تلخيص الكتاب كله في مقال واحد لوضحت الفكرة دون أي زيادة ونقصان! وتعقدت الأمور أكثر حين بدأ يتكلم عن الأديان والله والملائكة.. الأمر الذي وضّح لي
