Nu cred prea mult in literatura de calatorii. Omul, in general, vede mult mai putin exact decat optimismul nostru ne indeamna sa credem. Asupra Orientului, mai ales, se poate scrie in fel si fel de chipuri. Depinde numai de cat esti dispus sa spui, de cantitatea lucrurilor pe care esti hotarat sa le ascunzi. Am cetit poate doua duzini de carti cu impresii de calatorie din India; si uneori imi vine sa cred ca s-a spus totul asupra acestei tari uluitoare, iar alteori ca nu s-a spus nimic. Mircea Eliade

Mircea Eliade
Author · 77 books
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.
