Auto-da-Fé book by Elias Canetti (Farsi)

Description

Auto-da-Fé by Elias Canetti tells the story of Peter Kien, a renowned yet reclusive sinologist whose obsessive love for books dominates his life. Canetti masterfully portrays Kien’s character and the relationships that ultimately lead to his downfall. Influenced by his housekeeper and the building’s porter, Kien is forced to abandon his apartment and beloved library, entering a dark and unfamiliar world beneath the city. In this nightmarish limbo, he encounters a malicious chess-playing dwarf whose guidance shapes his journey. Kien’s brother, a prominent psychiatrist, visits and, through a misdiagnosis, triggers the final crisis of the story. Widely regarded as one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, Auto-da-Fé remains a compelling exploration of a man struggling against the forces of his environment.
