Mircea Eliade în perioada exilului parizian

Abstract

This article aims to clarify the main points in the Parisian exile of Mircea Eliade, taking account of the socio-political context loaded, "hard" of the fourth and fifth decades in Europe. Caught in the trap of political exile, but taking advantage of the abundance of libraries in the West, Eliade became the "refused one" of the Comintern and the Socialist International. Despite the obstacles of disturbance and the Soviets long right-hand, he manages to become spiritus rector of "fugitives” cultural elites in Paris, polarizing around his big personality the intelighentia of all Romanians in exile.
