This new expanded edition of 'Ejercicios de admiración' contains 16 more texts than its previous edition in Spanish, and even than the original French edition. It consists mostly of articles and prefaces that Cioran wrote over the years about other writers and about creation in general. Despite the disparity of topics and writing dates, the whole reveals a great homogeneity, related to the unconfessed intention of each text impregnated with the author's personal obsessions. This book reveals not only the obsessive and ironic Cioran, but also the one who is fascinated by eclectics like Eliade, or the Cioran nostalgic for the harmony with the world that animates the poetry of Saint-John Perse. These exercises in admiration are equivalent to exercises in deepening the knowledge of oneself.
Emil Cioran was a Romanian philosopher, aphorist and essayist, who published works in both Romanian and French. His work has been noted for its pervasive philosophical pessimism, style, and aphorisms. His works frequently engaged with issues of suffering, decay, and nihilism. In 1937, Cioran moved to the Latin Quarter of Paris, which became his permanent residence, wherein he lived in seclusion with his partner, Simone Boué, until his death in 1995.
