Editing Mircea Eliade (section)

==== ''Șantier'' ====
Mircea Eliade's other early works include '''''Șantier''''' ('Building Site'), a part-novel, part-diary account of his Indian sojourn. George Călinescu objected to its "monotony", and, noting that it featured a set of "intelligent observations", criticized the "banality of its ideological conversations."<ref name="Căl. p.958" /> ''Șantier'' was also noted for its portrayal of [[drug addiction]] and intoxication with [[opium]], both of which could have referred to Eliade's actual travel experience.<ref name="aoopium" />
