Elias Canetti Libros

Quinto volumen de esta edición definitiva de la obra completa de Canetti, y cierre de la trilogía en la que recogió su autobiografía. En los tres libros que componen su autobiografía Elias Canetti nos ofrece su particular visión de la vieja Europa y de sus contemporáneos -Freud o Bábel pasean por estas páginas- en un viaje en el que las vivencias y la literatura se entrelazan para formar un universo único. Juego de ojos es el tercer y último volumen de esa serie y se sitúa en la Viena de 1931 a 1937, a las puertas de la catástrofe. En ella el autor retrata su estrecha relación con Hermann Broch y Robert Musil, entre otros. El escritor José Manuel de Prada Samper ha dicho...«Canetti ahora, en tiempos de crisis, es más necesario que nunca, porque es uno de esos autores que se ha convertido en la conciencia de la humanidad.»

Primera parte de las memorias del autor cubre el periodo entre los anos 1905-1921.

Three volumes of memoirs, presented in a one-volume collection for the first time, illuminate the life and times of the late Nobel Prize winner in his own words, as he discusses everything from his creative inspiration to the state of Vienna in 1931.

The book offers a deeply personal reflection on death and aging through a collection of notes, aphorisms, and fragments by a prominent twentieth-century intellectual. These "notations" reveal a tender yet somber exploration of life's transience, capturing the complexities of human emotions associated with mortality. Each piece contributes to a poignant meditation that resonates with the reader's own experiences of loss and the passage of time.

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.
