Editorial Review Product Description Ranging from soccer crowds and political rallies to Bushmen and thepilgrimage to Mecca, Canetti exhaustively reviews the way crowds form,develop, and dissolve, using this taxonomy of mass movement as a keyto the dynamics of social life. The style is abstract, erudite, andanecdotal, which makes Crowds and Power the sort of work thatawes some readers with its profundity while irritating others with itselusiveness.Canetti loves to say something brilliant butcounterintuitive, and then leave the reader to figure out both why hesaid it and whether it's really true. --Richard Farr Customer Reviews (8)

The intellectual development of Elias Canetti; or, "The Tongue Starts Wagging"
Great for the Specialist, Good for the Casual Reader
I don't know anything better. (PS. English is not my first language so please excuse whatever you don't like about my writing.)
A Genius Way Ahead of his Time I settled down to reacquaint myself with Canetti and, like a reunion with an old friend, I was overjoyed to rediscover his warmth, his wit, and his searing intellect. For such a clever man, though, Canetti is still aware he has a reading public eager to hear tales of the famous names, with whom he rubbed shoulders during his very brief time in Berlin. To learn that the great George Grosz was indeed a misogynist and Brecht a slave to fashion gave me that wry smile that I remembered from reading Canetti before. For anyone wanting to gain a really deep insight into Central Europe in the 1920's and 30's, this is the book to read and not the titillating, ever-so-British accounts of Christopher Isherwood.
a perfect piece of literary fiction |

Editorial Review Amazon.com Review Most entries are just a sentence or two in length, varying in qualityfrom the obvious to the profound. Many take the tantalizing form of afictional premise not followed through ("A country where everyonewalks backwards, to keep an eye on themselves. A country where allturn their backs on one another: fear of eyes.") But the overalltone, as with his other writings, is more gnomically philosophical. Atypical stand-alone entry reads, "There is something sickeningabout all advocacy: only pure admiration is real." --RichardFarr Customer Reviews (2)
Canetti was a first-rate fragmentist
collection of genius It's a most fascinating and eclectic collection of thoughts and profound observations. I have never put the book down with the same vision as I picked it up. ... Read more |
15. The Voices of Marrakesh: A Record of a Visit by Elias Canetti | |

Editorial Review Product Description Winner of the 1981 Nobel Prize for Literature, Elias Canetti uncovers the secret life hidden beneath Marrakesh’s bewildering array of voices, gestures and faces. In a series of sharply etched scenes, he portrays the languages and cultures of the people who fill its bazaars, cafes, and streets. The book presents vivid images of daily life: the storytellers in the Djema el Fna, the armies of beggars ready to set upon the unwary, and the rituals of Moroccan family life. This is Marrakesh -described by one of Europe’s major literary intellects in an account lauded as "cosmopolitan in the tradition of Goethe" by the New York Times. "A unique travel book," according to John Bayley of the London Review of Books. Customer Reviews (5)
Voyeur's Tenderness
Very descriptive
fresh, original and brilliantly written account
Marrakesh Resident Likes the Book The book takes place in the time when Morocco was still part of the French Colonial Empire, and when the French had placed a "puppet" sultan on the throne.The author speaks of camel markets in Bab Khemis, the camels having walked in a train of 105 animals from the Western Sahara.Those not purchased by butchers (yes, for eating) in Marrakesh were to continue walking north to Settat, the end of the line for the camel trains (just outside of Casablanca).This must have been before trucking was the common method of transport.Occassional "blue men" of the Sahara could still be seen in Marrakesh. This book will be of particular interest to any visitors of Moroccan Jewish origin who may be returning to visit the land of their parents.The author, we find out, is Jewish, and just happens to meet up with some members of the Jewish community.He gets pulled into their own little world (which no longer exists in Marrakesh, as most of that community emmigrated to Israel after 1967).He relates his experiences. If you are thinking of traveling to Marrakesh, or anywhere in Morocco, this little book will open your eyes to the sights, sounds, and smells of the city.Much of the city has changed, but the atmosphere has remained the same.
A vivid record of Marrakesh "Voices," which is divided into 14 short chapters, is the first person account of a visit to the Moroccan city of the title.Canetti tells of encounters with and observations of camels, beggars, donkeys, merchants, and other inhabitants of the city.The book is a fascinating record of cross-cultural contact, and includes an intriguing view into the Mellah, the Jewish quarter of Marrakesh. The book is full of vividly rendered scenes; Canetti really brings these people and animals to life on the page.The book also has a dark edge as he recounts the exploitative underside of the city.Literacy and linguistic difference are also key themes. "Voices" is a short text (103 pages), but rich in mystery, tragedy, and wonder.As a companion text I recommend "The Jaguar Smile," by Salman Rushdie. ... Read more |
