4.0 out of 5 stars
Introspective, October 30, 2003
This review is from: Journal IV, 1979-1985 (v. 4) (Hardcover)
Perhaps it's the journalist in me that enjoys knowing the thoughts of other people. Mircea Eliade left his thoughts with us. This section of his journal covers the years 1979-1985. It was a time he was active as a scholar. His description of the sorts of things I relate to, such as reading, acquiring books, writing, preparing presentations and such sort of reinforce the work. I see it as a continuation in a sense. Scholarly pursuits continue from one person to another, from one generation to another. That is not to say I agree with him. It is simply to say I identify with the arena in which he worked. In fact, agreement on issues is not what I am talking about here.
If you are like me and enjoy reading the intimate thoughts of a writer/researcher/inquirer then you will like this book.
