«La caída en el tiempo» is the philosophical essay by Emil Cioran, published by Tusquets Editores in 1993, in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
With a disenchanted and lucid gaze, Cioran reflects on the human condition: time emptied of substance, the void, innocence, glory, death, and the paradoxes in which thought becomes entangled. The author raises uncomfortable questions that force one to confront the contradictions of existence.
Fifth book Cioran wrote in French, originally published in 1964 as «La chute dans le temps». The translation is by Carlos Manzano de Frutos; Marginales collection, number 124.
A work for readers of philosophy and essays who appreciate skepticism and a stark look at existence.
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.
