Book Description

A Língua Absolvida: História de Uma Juventude

Em "A língua absolvida", primeiro volume da trilogia autobiográfica de Elias Canetti (prêmio Nobel de literatura de 1981), completada por "Uma luz em meu ouvido" e "O jogo dos olhos", o autor narra sua infância e adolescência em seu país de origem, a Bulgária, e em outras nações da Europa para onde foi obrigado a se deslocar, seja por razões familiares, seja por vicissitudes da Primeira Guerra Mundial. Ao mesmo tempo em que registra, num tom quase romanesco, os acontecimentos e pessoas mais marcantes dessa fase crucial de sua vida -- ficamos conhecendo os livros que ele ganhava do pai, o avô que falava 17 línguas, o duro aprendizado do alemão com a mãe -- Canetti vai fazendo emergir ao primeiro plano o fascínio que a linguagem e a literatura inevitavelmente exerciam sobre o menino a quem os anos transformariam no escritor brilhante.

Elias Canetti

Elias Canetti (25 July 1905 – 14 August 1994) was a German-language writer, born in Ruse, Bulgaria to a Sephardic family. They moved to Manchester, England, but his father died in 1912, and his mother took her three sons back to continental Europe. They settled in Vienna.

Canetti moved to England in 1938 after the Anschluss to escape Nazi persecution. He became a British citizen in 1952. He is known as a modernist novelist, playwright, memoirist, and nonfiction writer. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1981, "for writings marked by a broad outlook, a wealth of ideas and artistic power". He is noted for his nonfiction book Crowds and Power, among other works.
