About the book: 1996 / Dialectics is a primarily spiritual category, it consists in "the need to overcome contradictions, to eliminate the duality of human nature, without which it is impossible comprehension of the highest reality,” thought Mircea Eliade (1907–1986), a philosopher and writer whose world-famous novels and short stories full of mysteries and secrecy, as well as studies on history, religion and magic, brought him worldwide fame. Eliade lived in India for many years, learning the essence and practice of yoga. Then he taught in Europe, and in America he founded his own school of religious studies. In the personality of the writer, the erudition of a scientist is uniquely combined with visionary abilities and artistic gift. The art with which Eliade prepares the reader of his scientific works and works of art to encounter the most difficult spiritual concepts is amazing, little by little captivating him with pseudo-realistic surroundings, drawing him into the circle of his themes, presenting him with sometimes not quite ordinary heroes. This book has absorbed the best artistic works of Mircea Eliade, united by a common metaphysical problematic. Most of them are published in Russian for the first time. The collection opens a new series of the publishing house - “Mandrake”. http://fb2.traumlibrary.net
