Synopsis "Herreros y Alquimistas (in Spanish)"

Los ensayos reunidos en " Herreros y alquimistas " muestran el lugar específico que ocupan en la historia de las formaciones sociales las culturas exóticas, arcaicas y primitivas, irreductibles a los enfoques y valoraciones eurocéntricos. El conjunto de mitos, ritos y símbolos asociados a los oficios de minero, metalúrgico y forjador, cuyos secretos se transmiten de generación en generación a través de ritos iniciáticos, ilustra los cambios de la actitud mágico-religiosa de los hombres del mundo preindustrial con respecto a la materia desde el preciso momento en que descubren su poder para cambiar el modo de ser de las sustancias minerales. Mircea Eliade señala que ese doble carácter experimental y místico está igualmente presente en la alquimia, ciencia sagrada que estudia la pasión, matrimonio y muerte de las sustancias, destinadas a la transmutación de la materia (la piedra filosofal) y de la vida humana (el elixir de la vida). Otras obras de Mircea Eliade en esta colección: " El mito del eterno retorno " .

Mircea Eliade (Bucharest 1907 – Chicago 1986) was a professor at the University of Bucharest, the École des Hautes Études in Paris, the Sorbonne University, and the University of Chicago, where he chaired the Department of History of Religions and taught for thirteen years

During a trip to Italy to finish his doctoral thesis on Renaissance Philosophy, Mircea Eliade came into contact with Hinduism and moved to India for four years to learn the Sanskrit language and Hindu culture and religion. Before settling in France, he spent five years in Lisbon, where he met Ortega y Gasset and came into contact with Spain and intellectuals of the time such as Menéndez Pidal and Eugeni D’Ors, whom he deeply admired

Over time, he became part of the Eranos Circle, a scientific and philosophical analysis organization whose goal was to explore the links between the thought of the East and the West

Mircea Eliade wrote more than 15 essays and three narrative works, and also engaged in journalism in Romania in the 1930s
