Cioran’s correspondence with his brother Aurel
In this study we aim at presenting Emil Cioran’s correspondence with his brother Aurel, who remained in Romania and with whom Cioran has corresponded from his departure to the Berlin scholarship in 1933 and until his life’s final years. The said correspondence has been donated by Aurel to the ASTRA library from Sibiu and comprises approx. 300 letters and postcardss written during more than four decades. The letters exchange is only interrupted between 1949 and 1955, when Aurel was sentenced to prison by the communist regime for his legionary political activity.
