E. M. Cioran

Tears and Saints 1st edition

Inspired by Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil", this book looks for "the origin of tears", focusing not on martyrs or heroes but on the mystics - primarily female - famous for their spirituality and intimate knowledge of God. He focuses explicitly on the political element hidden in saints' lives.
