Publish Date: 2006-12-01
Features: In 1981, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for his writings marked by a broad perspective, a rich imagination, and artistic power." "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, many remarkable and moving experiences he went through, and his unique educational process in pursuit of broad knowledge are all vividly presented to readers in his autobiographical works. There are few works like this in German autobiographical literature of our century." —Nobel Prize in Literature Award Citation
