The Eliade that we encounter in this book is a man who tries in vain to stop the inevitable advance of death's glacier by throwing in its path words, words, words: papers, books, articles, articles about books, reviews, responses to reviews, encyclopedias about books, and on and on and on." from the Epilogue by Wendy Doniger. Journal IV is the first publication, in a translation from the Romanian manuscript, of the journal that Mircea Eliade kept during the last seven years of his life. In this period, Eliade is ensconced as a famous scholar his works are being translated into many languages and books about him arrive regularly in the mail. His encounters with scholars of like repute are recorded in the journal: after a party in Paris, Eliade shares a taxi with Claude Levi-Strauss and inadvertently makes off with his raincoat. Running like a fault line through the peak of his success, however, is Eliade's painful awareness of his physical decline failing vision, arthritic hands, and continual fatigue. Again and again he repeats how little time he has to finish the projects he is working on his autobiography, the third and fourth volumes of his History of Religious Ideas, and the duties associated with his editorship of the Encyclopedia of Religion. He poignantly recounts the sharpest blow: the disorganization and eventual destruction by fire of his personal library. Within the scope of Journal IV Eliade and his world go to ruin. What does not decline is the vivid and persistent voice of Eliade the writer, an unbreaking voice that with death only months away plans a reply to critics, plots out an article, and ruminates on characters to people another novella. - MIRCEA ELIADE was born in Bucharest in 1907. He was educated at the University of Bucharest, where he received his Ph. D. in 1932, and at the University of Calcutta, where he studied for several years. Eliade's first publications were fiction, and he produced both scholarly works and fiction over the course of some sixty years of writing. He taught at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes in Paris and lectured at the universities of Rome, Lund, Marburg, Munich, Frankfurt, Padua, and Strasbourg before settling at the University of Chicago, where he was the Sewall L. Avery Distinguished Service Professor in the Divinity School and professor in the Committee on Social Thought at the time of his death in April 1986. He was the author of some fifty books, including novels, short stories, and plays as well as works in the history of religions. His books published by the University of Chicago Press include the four- volume Journal; the two-volume Autobiography; the four-volume History of Religious Ideas; Ordeal by Labyrinth; The Forge and the Crucible; Occultism, Witchcraft, and Cultural Fashions; The Quest; The Two and the One; Zalmoxis, the Vanishing God; History of Religions (with Joseph Kitagawa); and the novel The Old Man and the Bureaucrats.
