MIRCEA ELIADE - AN AUTHOR WHO KEEPS A "CREATIVE DIARY"

TO "SHED LIGHT ON THE WORK UNDERNEATH"

Abstract

Even if the diary is a form of anti-literature, used as a ladder of service to
the sumptuous salon of literature, we can nonetheless observe that great writers, in
creative crisis, often turn to intimate writing under the pretext of justifying their own
professional writing. Is Mircea Eliade one of the writers who updated the idolatrous
function of the diary?
