| Notes | 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.
