Interpretation Toward Books Le Roman de l'adolescent myope

"Puisque je suis resté seul, j'ai décidé de me mettre à écrire aujourd'hui même Le Roman de l'adolescent myope. J'y travaillerai chaque après-midi. Je n'ai pas besoin d'inspiration ; il faut que j'écrive ma vie, et ma vie, je la connais ; quant au roman, j'y pense depuis longtemps." Voici décrit dès les premières phrases le projet de ce livre, où le narrateur, un adolescent précoce et tourmenté dans la Bucarest du début du siècle, dévoile - avec précision et presque impudeur - son quotidien : les travers de ses profs, les complots des élèves, leurs convoitises sexuelles, les premiers exploits erotiques, la découverte de sa propre altérité... mais aussi la nécessité d'écrire, qui lui est chevillée au corps. Retrouvé voici peu dans un grenier de Bucarest, ce roman - écrit alors même que Mircea Eliade avait l'âge de son héros - est aussi un inestimable document sur le grand écrivain qui fut lui-même cet adolescent de génie qu'il nous révèle en faisant mine de le découvrir.

Column Based On Books Le Roman de l'adolescent myope

An inner world of an adolescent: the world of naive fears and immeasurable ambitions Mircea Eliade tells the story marvelously.The adolescent boy wants to write an autobiographical novel and to put there all his friends and all his modest life experienceThe fact is that The Novel of the Short-Sighted Adolescent will be a series of vignettes, impressions, portraits, conclusions about school life and the adolescent soul. This might seem dull and analytical; particularly the word conclusions.Angst

I dare say, this was the most boring book I've ever read, and it took me a month of my life to read it. I only did it because of the writer, but it was truly dissapointing.

The first time I read this in English and at an age where I can mock the self-centred worldview of teenagers. Previously, I was a teenager myself and thought it was something to be taken seriously (see, even the great Eliade found school life difficult!). Of course, I now think it is more fictional than autobiographical, as it's easy to see the satire in it. Particularly funny are the chapters on procrastination and pretentiousness. The chapter on 'going to the brother' is very much of its time

Disappointed by how misogynistic Eliade is -- I still like his works, but my taste-buds have been altered somewhat. Bitter.

It's a tidious read buit worth it. Also maybe because I read it at 15.

This rediscovered Romanian classic is what you might get if a teenage Adrian Mole was studying for a philosophy degree. Before picking this up I knew of Mircea Eliade as a commentator on world religions. I didnt realize he also wrote a number of novels. This is particularly special in that its a lost manuscript he wrote as a teenager; it was only discovered in a Bucharest attic after his death in the 1980s. The novels chief detriments the repetitive nature of the sections about his schooling,

Review of Diary of a short sighted adolescent by Mircea Eliade, translated from the Romanian by Christopher Moncrieff with reference to original translation by Christopher BartolomewThe unnamed narrator is a student in school. The novel focuses on his life as one, reading balzac or whatever instead of doing homework, failing maths etc, not telling parents you are suspended from school so read a classic in the park, you know normal school boy stuff.The first half of it I found more interesting
