Mircea Eliade's journal of the years 1957-1969, originally published in English under the title No Souvenirs, is the testimony of a "wandering scholar" caught between three worlds: his native Romania, the France he fled to, and his last homeland, the United States. The journal is filled with his work, dreams, memories of his youth, stories of his travels, the reflections of each day.
Here finally are Eliade's memoirs of the first thirty years of his life in Mac Linscott Rickett's crisp and lucid English translation. They present a fascinating account of the early development of a Renaissance talent, expressed in everything from daily and periodical journalism, realistic and fantastic fiction, and general nonfiction works to distinguished contributions to the history of religions. Autobiography follows an apparently amazingly candid report of this remarkable man's progression from a mischievous street urchin and literary prodigy, through his various love affairs, a decisive and traumatic Indian sojourn, and active, brilliant participation in pre-World War II Romanian cultural life."—Seymour Cain, Religious Studies Review
Selections from Eliade's writings provide insight into the nature and functions of myth, ritual, medicine men and shamans, and religious mysteries and symbolism. Bibliogs
Noone can tell a vampire story like a Romanian, and few Romanians can bring the breadth of learning world renowned mythologist Eliade (1907-86). His fiction is little known, partly because it is all in Romanian. The novelette and three short stories here share a concern with the supernatural and settings in preindustrial Romania. The translation includes a guide to pronouncing the names. No index or bibliography. Acidic paper; poor quality printing, binding, and proofreading. Distributed in the US by Columbia U. Press.
