Description
In Die Fackel im Ohr: Lebensgeschichte 1921–1931, Elias Canetti continues his autobiographical trilogy, recounting the decade between ages sixteen and twenty-six. He describes life in Frankfurt during hyperinflation, his student years in Vienna, and the vibrant cultural world of 1920s Berlin. Canetti reflects on the intellectual and emotional experiences that shaped his future themes—crowds, death, and individuality. Along the way, he offers sharp portraits of influential figures such as Karl Kraus, Bertolt Brecht, and Isaac Babel. Through memories of family, mentors, and friends, he reveals the forces that formed his identity. The book blends personal narrative with a vivid picture of a turbulent European era.
