Summary

Mircea Eliade: Bengal Night | Maitreji

Mircea Eliade (1907-1986), probably the most famous Romanian by origin and the world's most important scholar of the history of religion, an equally well-known author of books on mythology, alchemy, Indian philosophy - he is less known for his works of fiction, although he began his career by publishing artistic prose.

The novel Maitreji, published in Romania in 1933 (later called Bengal Night in other languages), remains Eliade's the most famous literary work, which belongs to the novels of his so-called of the post-Indian period, with works created after a four-year stay in India. After that novel, Eliade actually became a widely known writer at the age of 26. The plot is based on the experience of Eliade's life in Calcutta, in the house of his Indian mentor. Bengal Night / Maitreji is a novel about the love that is born between its protagonist Allen and Maitreji, the daughter of his host. This forbidden love is the reason for the story about the diversity of civilizations, the arrogant prejudices of the European intellectual towards the "primitive" poetess (student of R. Tagore), but also about the gradual and inevitable counter-influence and unconscious change in the attitude of the young Eurocentric hero towards the ancient and rich culture of India.
