Description
The Tongue Set Free by Elias Canetti is a powerful literary memoir that portrays the author’s early life and the roots of his creative awakening. It begins with a striking account of his earliest memory and explores how language becomes his gateway into the adult world. After the death of his father when he is seven, Canetti’s life is marked by displacement, emotional distance, and constant movement. Throughout the narrative, he reflects on the challenges and loneliness that shape his personality. One of the most intense episodes is when his mother forces him to learn German within only three months. This memoir offers a vivid, intimate view of the experiences that formed one of the 20th century’s great writers.
