Foundation Makes Possible Publication of
The Portugal Journal by Mircea Eliade by the State University of New York Press Professor Mircea Eliade (1907-1986) was one of the world’s leading authorities on the history of religions. He was also a prominent author, and his latest work to be filmed is Youth without Youth (2007), directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Eliade served as a diplomat for his country for several years. His journal kept during World War II when he was posted in Lisbon at the Romanian Legation has been translated from the Romanian by Professor Mac Linscott Ricketts, and will shortly be published by the State University of New York (SUNY) Press in the USA. This publication has been subsidised by the Prodan Foundation, to enable translations of key primary source documents of the period, which have never before been made public, to be included. Eliade’s journal and papers for this period fill a hole in our knowledge of the secret political, diplomatic, and espionage intrigues taking place in Lisbon during the Second World War. All historians of the period will find this material useful, and Eliade enthusiasts will be fascinated to learn of the author and scholar’s intimate involvement in such exciting events of his time. |
