Book Description

La historia más terrible la encontré hoy en las memorias de una mujer, Misia Sert. La llamo Suplicio de las moscas y la transcribo literalmente:
"Una de mis compañeras de habitación había llegado a dominar el arte de cazar moscas. Tras estudiar pacientemente a estos animales, descubrió el punto exacto en el que había que introducir la aguja para ensartarlas sin que murieran. De este modo confeccionaba collares de moscas vivas y se extasiaba con la celestial sensación que el roce de las desesperadas patitas y las temblorosas alas producía en su piel."

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.
