This book presents an original way of articulating a discussion of Mircea Eliade's journalism, a lesser-known chapter in the literary biography of the celebrated philosopher of religion. As it shows, Eliade's articles serve as the starting point of interesting comments regarding the movement of ideas in the interwar era, historical and cultural contexts, Romania's cultural life and its relation to European modernism, the dramatic destiny of Mircea Eliade and his generational colleagues under the pressure of a succession of totalitarian regimes, the post-war Romanian diaspora, and the reception of Eliade in Romania and abroad. It shows how Eliade's approach to culture is subject to a phenomenological variation, examining it from a range of perspectives.
