Dr. Ion Agheana, professor of Romance languages at Hope College, is one of only six scholars worldwide featured in the book "Cioran. El pesimista seductor" ("Cioran. The Seductive Pessimist"), which focuses on the work and life of Romanian philosopher and essayist Emil Cioran.
Cioran (1911-1995) was born and raised in Romania but spent most of his adult life in France. His work, which was initially written in Romanian and from the 1940s onward in French, is characterized by pessimism, considering life, ideologies, religions, love and other concerns as delusions of imagination.
El Seductor (Spain, 1995)
It is the second time that he has been interviewed by Caneque for a book about an influential writer. He is also among the scholars featured in Caneque's 1995 book "Conversaciones sobre Borgres" ("Conversations about Borges"), a discussion of the work of Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges, which was published by Destino Publishing House of Barcelona.
