Biography
One of the greatest Romanian writers, Mircea Eliade was also a great cultural personality. His works, starching out over six decades, consists of short stories, novels, plays, memoirs, works of mythology, folklore, ethnology, sociology, anthropology, studies of history of religions. In spite of this diversity, all of Mircea Eliade's works are based on or have something to do with his theory of the camouflaging of the sacred in the profane. The influence of his thought, through his works and through thirty years as director of History of Religions department at Chicago University, is considerable. Mircea Eliade was the Sewell L. Avery Distinguished Service Professor of the History of Religions at the University of Chicago where he remained and taught until his death on April 22 in the year 1986. Eliade was a student in philosophy at the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy from Bucharest. In October he graduates the University of Bucharest with a paper on Campanella. In 1933 Mircea Eliade gets his PhD in philosophy with The Compared History of the Yoga Techniques. In 1945 he moves to paris and in 1948 he starts his collaboration with the magazine Critique, under the command of Georges Bataille. In 1957 he moves to Chicago as a professor of history of religions at the University of Chicago and in 1966 he becomes a member of The American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
