Summary/Abstract: A novel - Maitreyi (Bengal Nights) - written in 1933 by Mircea Eliade, changed my life. This is the story of my incredible encounter with Indian culture and especially the Bengali connection who was/is/will be very dear to me for so many reasons, starting, of course, with Maitreyi, the character and the woman, who came into my life more than 20 years ago and transformed it completely.
