<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Originally published in France under the title La tentation d'exister"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"A sort of final philosopher of the Western world. His statements have the compression of poetry and the audacity of cosmic clowning"--<i>The Washington Post</i></b> <p/>This collection of eleven essays, when originally published in France, created a literary whirlwind on the Left Bank. Cioran writes incisively about Western civilizations, the writer, the novel, mystics, apostles, and philosophers. <p/><i>The Temptation to Exist</i> first introduced this brilliant European thinker twenty years ago to American readers, in a superb translation by Richard Howard. This literary mystique around Cioran continues to grow, and <i>The Temptation to Exist</i> has become an underground classic. <p/>In this work Cioran writes about Western civilizations, the writer, the novel, about mystics, apostles, philosophers. For those to whom the very word <i>philosophy</i> brings visions of arduous reading, be assured: Cioran is crystal-clear, his style quotable and aphoristic.
