The Foundation is delighted to have been able to contribute to this publication from ISTROS Books which is published on 30 May 2025.
This volume consists of six of Eliade’s best short stories, taken from over a 30-year period starting in 1959 with A Fourteen-Year-Old Photograph and culminating with In the Shadow of a Lily, the last story Eliade is known to have written. Each of these stories is dense with allusions and interwoven with connections and references drawn from the imagination and vast knowledge of a great man. Who knows what secrets they may conceal? One thing is for sure – they will repay repeated close reading, but will also charm on the first encounter.
 | The publishers wish to thank the Prodan Romanian Cultural Foundation and the Arts Council England for their support of the work of Istros Books. |
