"No event in our world is "real, " my friend. Everything that
occurs in this universe is illusory... And in a world of
appearances, in which no thing and no event has any permanence, any
reality of its own--whoever is master of certain forces can do
anything he wishes..." So speaks a character in "Two Strange Tales,
" a pair of novellas in which Westerners are caught up in the
uncanny realm of Eastern religion and magic. In "Nights at
Serampore," three European scholars, traveling deep into the
forests of Bengal, are inexplicably cast into another time and
space where they witness the violent murder of a young Hindu wife.
In "The Secret of Dr. Honingberger," a respectable Rumanian
physician vanishes without a trace after experimenting with yogic
techniques in his quest for the legendary invisible world called
Shambhala. In "Two Strange Tales, " author Mircea Eliade combined
yogic folklore with the literary genre of the supernatural suspense
tale so as to reveal dimensions of experience that are inaccessible
to other intellectual approaches. These well-crafted stories will
appeal to both lovers of the supernatural and those fascinated by
mysticism of the East.
