"The practice of esoteric hermeneutics on Mircea Eliade's prose began, systematically, with Marcel Tolcea's consistent volume. In continuation of this kind of exploration of literary works, the present book by Cristian Gabriel Moraru brings together two studies of literary hermeneutics applied to the short stories The Secret of Doctor Honigberger and Nights at Serampore, bringing to the fore those religious ideas and beliefs that Mircea Eliade camouflaged in his fictions, precisely because they could not find their place in his scientific work as a historian of religions. Along with Sadoveanu, V. Voiculescu, or Ioan Petru Culianu, Eliade belongs to the category of Romanian prose writers who need research to reveal the mysterious meanings of the literary text, and Cristian Gabriel Moraru convinces us of the necessity and depth of such studies through an esoteric hermeneutic grid!"
