【Content Introduction】
This is EM Cioran's second French work after his famous work "A Brief History of Disintegration".
It is also the work he claimed to be "the most widely circulated and closest to himself" in France. With its fragmented writing style, it established the "Ciolan style".
Subtle, concise, and powerful, "On Suffering" embraces fragmentation—
No other thinker has revealed himself so intensely.
The book is divided into ten chapters – language, loneliness, religion, history and music are the haunting themes.
There was a kind of manic humor in these howls of pain; there were traces of tears in his laughter.
【Celebrity Recommendation】

—Susan Sontag (thinker)
The greatest French writer since Paul Valéry, who has done honor to our language.
—Saint-John Perse (Nobel Prize winner in Literature)
Injects a zany comedy into a near-death act with a faux innocence…and heightens its seriousness with genuine puns.
—The New York Times Book Review
