In this exuberant and touching portrait of youth, Eliade recounts the fictional version of his university years in late 1920s Bucharest. Marked by a burgeoning desire to suck out all the marrow of life, the protagonist throws himself into his studies; engaging his professors and peers in philosophical discourse, becoming one of the founding members of the Students Union, and opening---up the attic refuge of his isolated teenage years as a hotspot for political debate and romantic exploration. Readers will recognize in these pages the joy of a life about to blossom, of the search for knowledge and the desire for true love. Already an accomplished writer as a young man, this follow-up to his Diary of a Short-Sighted Adolescent reveals a keen observer of human behaviour, a seeker of truth and spiritual fulfillment whose path would eventually lead him to become the ultimate historian of 20th-century religions.

"Eliade may be describing the life of a student in a Romanian lycee of almost a century ago, but anyone who has ever been at school, full of ideals but also too shy to speak to the opposite sex, or incapable of revising for an exam until the very last minute, will relate to this. As will anyone who has ever committed their private thoughts to paper, as the true record of their soul and a rebuke to posterity." --Guardian on Diary of a Short-Sighted Adolescent "The young Eliade both makes himself and writes himself with a fury."--Los Angeles Review of Books "Much of the fun of Gaudeamus is in just how adolescently seriously he takes himself, and his ambitions - with just enough self-awareness of the absurd silliness of it all."--The Complete Review

Övrig information

Eliade was an intensely prolific author of fiction and non-fiction alike, publishing over 1,300 pieces over 60 years, including the novels Maitreyi (or Bengal Nights), Noaptea de Snziene (The Forbidden Forest), Isabel i apele diavolului (Isabel and the Devil's Waters) and Romanul Adolescentului Miop (Diary of a Short-Sighted Adolescent), and the novellas Domnioara Christina (Miss Christina) and Tineree fr tineree (Youth Without Youth), which was made into a feature film by Frances Ford Coppola in 2007, starring Tim Roth.
