A stunning and unexpected new volume of Elias Canetti's autobiography. A surprise gift to celebrate the Nobel Laureate's 100th birthday. Nobel Prize winner Elias Canetti, at 85, beset by the desire to come to terms with his years of exile in Britain, wrote Party in the Blitz. He waited half a century to confront these memories, perhaps because "in order to be truthful, I should have to track down every needless humiliation I was offered in En...

Een groot aantal teksten in Elias Canetti's omvangrijke nalatenschap (meer dan tienduizend handgeschreven bladzijden) staat in het teken van een levenslange obsessie: de dood. Dit boek, dat hij zelf niet heeft kunnen voltooien, geeft een zeer compleet beeld van zijn denken over dit thema. Canetti, die zichzelf als 'doodsvijand' typeerde, ondernam talrijke pogingen om de dood met zijn antropologische methode te omsingelen. Hij las schrijvers, f...

The third part of the Nobel Prize Winner's classic autobiography, reissued by Granta in a stunning new paperback edition.

Crowds and Power is a revolutionary work in which Elias Canetti finds a new way of looking at human history and psychology. Breathtaking in its range and erudition, it explores Shiite festivals and the English Civil war, the finger exercises of monkeys and the effects of inflation in Weimar Germany. In this study of the interplay of crowds, Canetti offers one of the most profound and startling portraits of the human condition.

Elias Canetti, winner of the 1981 Nobel Prize in Literature, was one of the major intellectual figures and polymaths of the twentieth century. A master of many genres, he is known especially for his novel, Auto da Fe, and his great work of social theory, Crowds and Power. But Canetti's genius is perhaps nowhere more evident than in the three volumes of his autobiography. This first volume, Tongue Set Free, provides a searching portrait of the ...

Franz Kafka conobbe Felice Bauer nell'agosto del 1912 a casa dell'amico Max Brod, e se ne innamorò. Non l'avrebbe rivista per altri sette mesi: e proprio in questo lungo periodo di separazione si svolse gran parte del carteggio che, tenuto con frequenza quasi ossessiva, fu l'espressione del loro singolarissimo rapporto. In questo saggio, nato sull'impulso della pubblicazione dell'epistolario (di cui solo le lettere dello scrittore sono conserv...

Avete mai incontrato il Leccanomi o il Tirainlungo? O l'Appaltadolori e la Filaguai? O la Sultanomane e il Bentistà? Mah... Per mettere in chiaro le cose e constatare che dietro nomi tanto inusitati si celano molte nostre vecchie conoscenze, oltre a un discreto numero di esseri fantastici e insieme plausibili, occorre sfogliare le pagine di questo libro, fra i più "leggeri" di Canetti. Vi si trovano non già una galleria di ritratti morali, ma ...

The third volume of his acclaimed autobiographical memoirs, The Play of the Eyes ambles along unpredictably, mingling character sketches, cafe conversations, dramatic readings of his plays, trips to Prague and Strasbourg, musings on the power of crowds and what makes the good man ... Canetti uses a dramatist's gifts here to achieve emotional depth, his mother's death, sketched simply against the backdrop of a crumbling Europe, takes on a tragi...

NOTES FROM HAMPSTEAD is a map of the late Nobel Laureate Elias Canetti's thinking. Canetti draws on the troubled period following the death of his wife and the publication of his masterwork of social theory, CROWDS AND POWER. Wide-ranging in form and content, the book is suffused with Canetti's uncommon intelligence, his rage at the defects of the spirit, and an unquenchable thirst for elusive truths.

First published in 1935, this is the story of a distinguished scholar in Germany between the wars. It builds up the elements in the scholar himself, and in his personal relationships, which will lead to his destruction. The author won the 1981 Nobel Prize for Literature.
