Description

In this exuberant and touching portrait of youth, Eliade recounts the fictional version of his university years in late 1920’s Bucharest.

Marked by a burgeoning desire to ‘suck out all the marrow of life’, the protagonist throws himself into his studies; engaging his professors and peers in philosophical discourse, becoming one of the founding members of the Student’s Union, and opening---up the attic refuge of his isolated teenage years as a hotspot for political debate and romantic exploration.

Readers will recognize in these pages the joy of a life about to blossom, of the search for knowledge and the desire for true love.

Already an accomplished writer as a young man, this follow-up to his Diary of a Short-Sighted Adolescent reveals a keen observer of human behaviour, a seeker of truth and spiritual fulfillment whose path would eventually lead him to become the ultimate historian of 20th-century religions.
