Features: In 1981, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for his works that with broad vision, rich fantasy, and artistic force open up new realms for the exploration of the human condition." "Canetti, this nomadic world writer, has his own homeland, which is German." "People should regard Canetti's autobiographical works as a peak of his creation. The political and cultural life of Central Europe in the 20th century—especially Vienna—was reflected in his autobiographical works. The unique environment that shaped Canetti, his many remarkable and moving experiences, and his unique educational process in pursuit of broad knowledge are all vividly presented to readers in his autobiographical works. There are very few works like this in German autobiographical literature of our century." —Nobel Prize in Literature Citation
