Crowds and power by
Elias Canetti(
Book
)
405 editions published between 1960 and 2016 in 10 languages and held by 3,814 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
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

Auto-da-fé by
Elias Canetti(
Book
)
481 editions published between 1935 and 2016 in 14 languages and held by 3,014 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Auto-da-Fe, Elias Canetti's only work of fiction, is a staggering achievement that puts him squarely in the ranks of major European writers such as Robert Musil and Hermann Broch. It is the story of Peter Kien, a scholarly recluse who lives among and for his great library. The destruction of Kien through the instrument of the illiterate, brutish housekeeper he marries constitutes the plot of the book. The best writers of our time have been concerned with the horror of the modern world--one thinks of Kafka, to whom Canetti has often been compared. But Auto-de-Fe stands as a completely original, unforgettable treatment of the modern predicament

Book
)
5 editions published in 1983 in English and held by 447 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"'Comedy of Vanity,' a dark satire on mass movements and narcissism, is a prophetic vision of fascism; in 'Life Terms' everybody in a new society is assigned the number of years he or she may live. Canetti's plays provide a missing link in the European dramatic heritage." -- Publisher's description
