Specifications
A Short History of Decay (1949) is a collection of aphoristic essays by E. M. Cioran that analyzes the nature of culture on the European continent in the mid-20th century. Ideologically, it touches on humanity's need to worship, the impotence of God, the decline of the Ancient Greeks, and the melancholic inferiority of existence. Cioran's pieces are extremely pessimistic, yet they possess a beautiful certainty that makes them sensitive, vibrant, and unforgettable. Enlightening and fiercely honest, the collection examines the decay of man through an impressive series of poignant and beautiful texts.
