Romanian philosopher and essayist (1911–1995) who was awarded the prestigious Rivarol Prize in 1950 for his first French book, A Short History of Decay. ALS in French, signed “E. Cioran,” one page, 4 x 6.25, February 18, 1955. In full (translated): “I have an interesting proposition for you or rather a suggestion. Could you go with me next Tuesday, February 22 at 3 o’clock? In case you are not free, try to give me a date at your convenience (except Thursday).” In fine condition. In 1955, Cioran was working on a collection of writings of Joseph de Maistre, which were published two years later by Editions du Rocher. A scarce autograph—the first Cioran we have offered.
