M. Cioran, a self-described \"Nietzsche still complete with his Zarathustra, his poses, his mystical clown's tricks, a whole circus of the heights.\"On the Heights of Despair shows Cioran's first grappling with themes he would return to in his later, mature works: despair and decay, absurdity and alienation, futility and the irrationality of existence. It also presents Cioran as a connoisseur of apocalypse, a theoretician of despair, for whom writing and philosophy both share the \"lyrical virtues\" that alone lead to a metaphysical revelation.A book to keep at your bedside, as epigrammatic as it is insightful, On the Heights of Despair offers not consolation, but engaging, thought-provoking companionship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67598409564448,"sku":"USED0226106713","price":33.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71OjlJU2jVL_6d449594-0faf-4227-a2c4-7dc16b716ef4.jpg?v=1790715443","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/on-the-heights-of-despair-0226106713-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
