Summary
Mircea Eliade: Myths, Dreams and Mysteries
Understanding myth will prove to be one of the most useful discoveries of the 20th century. The Westerner is no longer the master of the world: there are no longer "natives" in front of him, but interlocutors. It is good that we know how to start a dialogue: it is important to recognize that there is no longer a break between the "primitive" or "backward" world and the modern West. We must be aware of what is still mythical in the life of contemporary people.
