About This Item
Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2000. Includes: The Tongue Set Free The Torch in My Ear The Play of the Eyes 8vo size trade paperback; 834 pagesElias Canetti (1905 - 1994) was a German language author of fiction, nonfiction and plays. Among his many literary awards, Canetti was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1981. From back: "Canetti worked brilliantly in many forms, but the three volumes that compose his autobiography are where his genius is perhaps most evident. The first volume, The Tongue Set Free, presents the events, personalities, and intellectual forces that fed Canetti's early creative development. The Torch in My Ear explores his admiration for the great mentor of his childhood, Karl Kraus, and also describes his first marriage. The final volume, The Play of the Eyes, is set in Vienna between 1931 and 1937, with the European catastrophe imminent; here he vividly portrays his relationships with Hermann Broch and Robert Musil, among others. The three volumes, read together, make it clear that this spiritual and intellectual autobiography is much more than a compelling account of the development of a great artist - it is a portrait of the tragic character of an entire era." Edgewear, worn corners and some light shelf soil to bottom of book. . Trade Paperback. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
