Summary/Abstract: Mircea Eliade builds a monumental work. He is the leader of generation '27, establishing a series of essential constants for the rebuilding of Romanian spirituality. He continues the ideological line of Nae Ionescu and Vasile Pîrvan. One of his first aims is to lay the foundation of the spiritual unity of all Romanians. His second goal is to ensure the expression, in universal forms, of the Romanian spirit. He accomplishes in a series of studies a vehement critique of the Romanian political class. He approaches the problem of Romanianism and that of messianism from a lighter point of view than that of Cioran. These are major themes, which are connected to the European spirit of the historical period.
