About Mircea Eliade
Mircea Eliade (13 March 1907 {O.S. 28 February} – 22 April 1986) was a Romanian historian of religion, fiction writer, philosopher, and professor at the University of Chicago.

And what is more interesting: the intellectual élite accept it (is it because they understand it? Or because it is "true" for modern man?)
