Intalnirea cu sacrul

by Mircea Eliade

olum aparut cu ocazia implinirii a 110 ani de la nasterea lui Mircea Eliade Preintalnirea cu sacrul Mircea Eliade. Intalnirea cu sacrul reia, intre copertele unei singure carti, buna parte din materia celor doua volume pe care le-am ingrijit in anii 1996 si 1997, Intalnirea cu sacrul. Interviuri cu si despre Mircea Eliade (Editura Axa, Botosani, ulterior republicat la Editura Echinox, Cluj); Eliadiana (Editura Polirom, Iasi). Am incercat sa compun, aici, un scenariu cat mai fluent si mai echilibrat, deschis publicului larg, dar atent la exigentele specialistilor. Intalnirea cu sacrul se doreste un volum „de initiere” in ambele sensuri ale el prezinta, intr-un limbaj accesibil, ideile-forta din opera lui Eliade, dar in acelasi timp isi propune sa produca un declic, o „iluminare”, o transformare launtrica a cititorului printr-o hermeneutica „empatica”.

Romanian-born historian of religion, fiction writer, philosopher, professor at the University of Chicago, and one of the pre-eminent interpreters of world religion in the last century. Eliade was an intensely prolific author of fiction and non-fiction alike, publishing over 1,300 pieces over 60 years. He earned international fame with LE MYTHE DE L'ÉTERNAL RETOUR (1949, The Myth of the Eternal Return), an interpretation of religious symbols and imagery. Eliade was much interested in the world of the unconscious. The central theme in his novels was erotic love.
