{"product_id":"9781908236340","title":"Gaudeamus","description":"In this exuberant and touching portrait of youth, Eliade recounts the fictional version of his university years in late 1920's Bucharest. Marked by a burgeoning desire to \"suck out all the marrow of life,\" the protagonist throws himself into his studies; engaging his professors and peers in philosophical discourse, becoming one of the founding members of the Student's Union, and opening-up the attic refuge of his isolated teenage years as a hotspot for political debate and romantic exploration. Readers will recognize in these pages the joy of a life about to blossom, of the search for knowledge and the desire for true love. This follow-up to Diary of a Short-Sighted Adolescent reveals a keen observer of human behavior, a seeker of truth and spiritual fulfillment whose path would eventually lead him to become the ultimate historian of 20th-century religions.","brand":"Mircea Eliade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47708480209214,"sku":"9781908236340","price":703.2,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781908236340_37f82d92-c49e-4c51-a310-abca28037220.jpg?v=1707644663","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781908236340","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
