Summary/Abstract: A citizen of the world, travelling along five continents, Mircea Eliade has always be in love with his native town Bucharest, the town of his careless childhood and fruitful youth. In his short stories or novels, in those written in the’30 as well as in exile, Bucharest appears as a real town recreated due to precise descriptions. But the real town is just a curtain and under it one may discover the magic, legends that transfom the real into a secret image to which just gifted people had access. This paper purpose is to demonstrate that Bucharest image is a mark of national identity in Eliade’s work, a magic and sacred place, the same town as in Ion and Luca Caragiale’s work, yet so different.
