                                    “Paradoxale Chicago” (1992)

“A metropolis attracts people in a magnetic change of the city life. Gather people who come from everywhere, weirs, puts them in different situations, offer unique opportunities and sometimes destroyed their illusions.
That’s Chicago, a way to be the American way of life, on the shores of Lake Michigan, a city famous and proud or is the famous “Sears Tower”, the rather high building in the world, as well as the memory of ‘Al Capone. Along with a lot of high buildings, The Windy City.

    Citizens of Chicago love their city and are very proud of its modern architecture, everyone can say by heart the names of famous buildings: City Hall, Fischer, Manhattan, Pontiac, Prudential, Reliance or Railway: silhouettes perfect, designated on the blue a day away.

People came of all parts of the world people have adapted to the American lifestyle, keeping their traditions, their customs. The officials, City Hall, stimulate the competitive spirit of the different communities. These can be found clustered in different parts of the city. 

Chicago has very nice suburbs quid, very exclusivist as Oakbrook, Morton Grove or Hinsdale, Chicago City universities and their campus students. The life of Mircea Eliade is linked to this place that has served him for academic recognition. He lived in Chicago for two periods of his life. (….)
