E. M. Cioran confronts the place of today's world in the context of
human history--focusing on such major issues of the twentieth
century as human progress, fanaticism, and science--in this
nihilistic and witty collection of aphoristic essays concerning the
nature of civilization in mid-twentieth-century Europe. Touching
upon Man's need to worship, the feebleness of God, the downfall of
the Ancient Greeks and the melancholy baseness of all existence,
Cioran's pieces are pessimistic in the extreme, but also display a
beautiful certainty that renders them delicate, vivid, and
memorable. Illuminating and brutally honest, "A Short History of
Decay" dissects Man's decadence in a remarkable series of moving
and beautiful pieces.
