Set in 1930s Calcutta, this is a roman clef of remarkable intimacy. Originally published in Romanian in 1933, this semiautobiographical novel by the world renowned scholar Mircea Eliade details the passionate awakenings of Alain, an ambitious young French engineer flush with colonial pride and prejudice and full of a European fascination with the mysterious subcontinent.

Offered the hospitality of a senior Indian colleague, Alain grasps at the chance to discover the authentic India firsthand. He soon finds himself enchanted by his host's daughter, the lovely and inscrutable Maitreyi, a precocious young poet and former student of Tagore. What follows is a charming, tentative flirtation that soon, against all the proprieties and precepts of Indian society, blossoms into a love affair both impossible and ultimately tragic. This erotic passion plays itself out in Alain's thoughts long after its bitter conclusion. In hindsight he sets down the story, quoting from the diaries of his disordered days, and trying to make sense of the sad affair.

A vibrantly poetic love story, Bengal Nights is also a cruel account of the wreckage left in the wake of a young man's self discovery. At once horrifying and deeply moving, Eliade's story repeats the patterns of European engagement with India even as it exposes and condemns them. Invaluable for the insight it offers into Eliade's life and thought, it is a work of great intellectual and emotional power.

Translated into French in 1950, Bengal Nights was an immediate critical success. The film, Les Nuits Bengali, appeared in 1987.

Delicious and great convenient snack
Flavor Name: Original Turkey, Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 18)
Only downfall is the expensive price. Love the flavor as taste and boost of protein it gives but hard to afford regularly.

My new addiction
Flavor Name: Original Turkey, Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 18)
These sticks might seem a little “stale” to some, but that’s really just because they’re leaner—only 1.5g of fat each, which I personally love! That being said, they aren’t as juicy as some other meat sticks; the texture is closer to jerky. I’ve been on their rosemary and rotisserie chicken kick lately! I also don’t eat pork, so I appreciate having these sticks as an option. They’ve made meal prep so much easier—low fat, no sugar, and a generous serving for only 50 calories! Plus, they’re cheaper than the grass-fed sticks I usually grab at 7-Eleven. I’ll definitely be reordering in the future.
