| dbo:abstract | La Nuit Bengali (transl. Bengal Nights) is a 1933 Romanian novel written by the author and philosopher Mircea Eliade. It is a fictionalized account of the love story between Eliade, who was visiting India at the time, and the young Maitreyi Devi (protégée of the great Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore, who became a famous writer herself). The novel was translated into Italian in 1945, German in 1948, Spanish in 1952, Bengali in 1988, Esperanto in 2007 (as Fraŭlino Maitreyi as part of the Serio Oriento-Okcidento), Catalan in 2011 and Georgian in 2019. Its most famous translation is the one in French, published as La Nuit Bengali in 1950. For many years, Maitreyi Devi was not aware that the story had been published. After reading it, she wrote her own version of the relationship in 1974. Entitled Na Hanyate, it was originally published in Bengali. It was published in English as It Does Not Die. In fulfillment of a promise Eliade made to Maitreyi that his novel would not be published in English during their lifetimes, an English translation, of Mayitreyi, Bengal Nights did not appear until 1993. In 1994, the University of Chicago Press published the two works in English as companion volumes. (en) Maitreyi är en roman från 1933 av den rumänske författaren Mircea Eliade. Handlingen är löst självbiografisk och utspelar sig i Calcutta på 1930-talet. Huvudpersonen är en ung fransk ingenjör som blir trollbunden av den indiska kulturen och har en kärleksaffär med sin arbetsgivares dotter, en ung intellektuell bengaliska. Förlaga var Eliades romans med Maitreyi Devi, dotter till den indiske filosofen Surendranath Dasgupta och senare själv en känd författarinna. Eliade var vid tidpunkten 23 och Devi 16. Romanen, som var Eliades tredje, blev en kommersiell framgång i Rumänien och gav Eliade ryktbarhet som skönlitterär författare, vid sidan av hans akademiska arbete. Devi själv läste inte boken förrän 40 år senare. Hon sökte upp Eliade och konfronterade honom och svarade 1974 med att ge ut en egen bok om kärleksaffären, Na hanyate (ung. "Det kan aldrig dö", från Bhagavad-Gita). Devi skildrar historien som lidelsefull, men tillbakavisar helt Eliades framställning av den som fysisk. Maitreyi har filmatiserats som La nuit bengali med premiär 1988, med Hugh Grant och Supriya Pathak i huvudrollerna. (sv) |
