«De lágrimas y de santos» is the philosophical essay by Emil Cioran, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (120 pages, in Spanish).
Essay of aphorisms on mysticism and holiness in a world without God. Cioran poses the paradox of a passion for the absolute joined to scepticism and contrasts saints and mystics with modern sensibility; he also shows his fascination with Spain, its landscape and its spiritual tradition.
It is Emil Cioran's fourth essay and first appeared in 1937. Tusquets included it as number 100 of the Marginales collection.
A work for readers of philosophy and essays interested in aphoristic and heterodox thought.
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.
