Mircea Eliade: From Magic to Myth

By Moshe Idel

Book Overview

Mircea Eliade: From Magic to Myth addresses a series of topics that have been neglected in scholarship. The book looks at the early Romanian background of some of Eliade's ideas, Eliade's attitude toward Judaism, his association with the Romanian extreme right movement known as the Iron Guard, and assessing the impact of Eliade's personal experiences on the manner in which he presented religion.
