El libro de las quimeras is a work by the Romanian philosopher E.M. Cioran, published in 1936. In this book, Cioran finds in the aphorism his true style, which allows him to denounce, curse, and lash out at everything that irritates him. It is a reckoning with the omnipresent illusion in which the human being lives, blinded and debased by his own chimeras. Despite the anguish and despair, Cioran finds elements to reconcile with life, especially through music, such as Mozart's.
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.
