Summary/Abstract: Throughout the paper entitled Mircea Eliade. Intre Orient si Occident / Mircea Eliade, Between East and West, we attempt to identify, underline and comment the most important thematic elements in Mircea Eliade’s works, from the perspective of East-West interferences. Thus, there is a certain impulse towards rationality and a day-like regime of the imaginary in the entire work of Eliade. Nevertheless, these tendencies are counterbalanced by a temptation for the spaces of shadow, fantasy and mystery in the world. Between day and night, East and West it is where the almost un-analyzable specificity of Mircea Eliade’s works is configured.
