Specificatii
Set in 1930s Calcutta, this is a roman a clef of remarkable
intimacy. Originally published in Romanian in 1933, this
semiautobiographical novel by the world renowned scholar Mircea
Eliade details the passionate awakenings of Alain, an ambitious
young French engineer flush with colonial pride and prejudice and
full of a European fascination with the mysterious subcontinent.
Offered the hospitality of a senior Indian colleague, Alain grasps
at the chance to discover the authentic India firsthand. He soon
finds himself enchanted by his host's daughter, the lovely and
inscrutable Maitreyi, a precocious young poet and former student of
Tagore. What follows is a charming, tentative flirtation that soon,
against all the proprieties and precepts of Indian society,
blossoms into a love affair both impossible and ultimately tragic.
This erotic passion plays itself out in Alain's thoughts long after
its bitter conclusion. In hindsight he sets down the story, quoting
from the diaries of his disordered days, and trying to make sense
of the sad affair. A vibrantly poetic love story, Bengal Nights is
also a cruel account of the wreckage left in the wake of a young
man's self discovery. At once horrifying and deeply moving,
Eliade's story repeats the patterns of European engagement with
India even as it exposes and condemns them. Invaluable for the
insight it offers into Eliade's life and thought, it is a work of
great intellectual and emotional power. Bengal Nights is forceful
and harshly poignant, written with a great love of India informed
by clear-eyed understanding. But do not open it if you prefer to
remain unmoved by your reading matter. It is enough to make stones
weep. - Literary Review Mircea Eliade (1907-1986) was the Sewell L.
Avery Distinguished Service Professor in the Divinity School and
the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago. Many
of his scholarly works, as well as his two-volume autobiography and
four-volume journal, are published by the University of Chicago
Press. Translated into French in 1950, Bengal Nights was an
immediate critical success. The film, Les Nuits Bengali, appeared
in 1987.
