Este primer volumen de la monumental obra de Mircea Eliade explora las manifestaciones de lo sagrado desde las etapas iniciales de la humanidad. El autor analiza con profundidad y rigor las creencias religiosas partiendo de la Edad de Piedra hasta llegar a los misterios eleusinos en Grecia, ofreciendo una visión integradora de cómo el ser humano ha interpretado su existencia a través del fenómeno religioso. La obra destaca por su capacidad para sintetizar la unidad fundamental de las experiencias religiosas junto a la novedad de sus expresiones particulares. Abarca las religiones de Mesopotamia, el antiguo Egipto, Israel, los indoeuropeos y la India védica, convirtiéndose en una referencia indispensable para el estudio de la historia de las religiones y el pensamiento humano.
Mircea Eliade was a Romanian historian of religion, fiction writer, philosopher, and professor at the University of Chicago. One of the most influential scholars of religion of the 20th century and interpreter of religious experience, he established paradigms in religious studies. His theory that hierophanies form the basis of religion, splitting the human experience of reality into sacred and profane space and time, has proved influential. One of his most instrumental contributions to religious studies was his theory of eternal return, which holds that myths and rituals do not simply commemorate hierophanies, but actually participate in them.
