Edition originale
Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 246 pages. Published in 1979. Retrospective collection of essays. One of Elias Canetti's finest achievements. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Elias Canetti's "Das Gewissen der Worte" in the definitive English translation by Joachim Neugroschel. Canetti, the novelist, dramatist, aphorist, and memoirist as literary essayist. Written between 1962 and 1974, the collection includes the full text of "Kafka's Other Trial: The Letters To Felice", the longest piece in the book, and one of the greatest essays ever written on Kafka. It remains available as an individual volume, but having it here together with his other essays gives it the context it doesn't have as a "stand-alone", apart from making the volume a great value. In the now-legendary speech he gave on the occasion of Hermann Broch's 50th birthday (in 1936), Canetti defines what it means to be a writer in universalizing and uncompromising terms. His title should have alerted us to the Jewish-German high moral seriousness Canetti demands of EVERY writer regardless of nationality. Thus, even his great admirer in Susan Sontag wryly noted the near-total absence of the aesthete sensibility, which is often concretely and uniquely "local", as the drastic limit of Canetti's otherwise all-encompassing greatness. Despite (or because of) his genius, he was quite irrational in his fear of Women and Death. About death, in particular, he wrote willfully (rather than rationally). He considered its rejection - by the mind, which is "immortal" though alas, trapped in the perishable body - as the only appropriate, comprehensible response to death. The "mind-versus-body" fantasy that Canetti took seriously is surely THE fantasy that every intellectual-rationalist also has: It is unthinkable for every great mind to imagine let alone accept death. Genius will never die even if the body must. An absolute "must-have" title for Elias Canetti collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of few copies of the 1979 First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and despite its imperfection (creasing and wear on DJ) is still in fine condition overall: Every single internal page is clean, crisp, and bright. There is NO bumping on the boards. It is NOT price-clipped. Please note: The publisher shut down shortly after publication so copies of the book have always been hard to find in collectible condition. Copies available online have very serious flaws (significant fading on the DJ spine is endemic), are subsequent editions, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1981. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. ISBN 0816493340. no.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 835 pages. Published in 1999. Omnibus Edition of the author's memoirs. One of the towering literary achievements of the 20th century. The first and only appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. There is NO equivalent edition in the German original. The First Edition Thus is now scarce. Presents, in one massive volume, "The Memoirs of Elias Canetti: The Tongue Set Free, The Torch In My Ear, The Play of The Eyes" in now-classic English translations. The incomparable self-portrait of a great and original mind: A writer, a playwright, a thinker, and a memoirist. "Canetti worked brilliantly in many forms, but the three volumes that comprise his autobiography are where his genius is perhaps most evident" (Publisher's blurb). Canetti barely acknowledges, except as the ingredient of a complex psychodrama (involving him and his apparently impossible Mother, herself a misogynist, and the reason for his own lifelong misogyny), a key personal fact that any other writer would have felt justified bragging about: He wasn't just a Renaissance Man, steeped in literature, philosophy, and science. He was that very rare thing, a Renaissance Genius, who had a degree in chemistry, science in its invisible, that is, purest form. Despite the degree, he decided not to become a professional chemist. Indeed, his prescient awareness of the dangers of scientism, still the reigning academic ideology of our time, stems precisely from his being academically trained ("exposed") as a scientist himself. "Crowds And Power", his unclassifiable masterpiece, is an intellectual rejection of both Freud and Marx, two thinkers who thought of themselves as scientists. His analysis of mass movements (specifically Fascism) is anecdotal, philosophical, and literary. He turns science into literature, deploying physical, non-human phenomena as metaphors for The Crowd: Fire, rain, forests, bees, snakes, and so on, illuminating how individual human beings tragically become part of an irresistible and destructive collective unit. "Party In The Blitz: The English Years" (2005), about his difficult British exile, is the Coda to his memoir-trilogy, published posthumously. An absolute "must-have" title for Elias Canetti collectors. These titles are great books. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies of the individual volumes available online command hundreds of dollars each. Copies of this Omnibus Edition available online have very serious flaws or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1981. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy.
