Krátky popis
In 1937, Elias Canetti began collecting notes for the
project&,nbsp,that ‘by definition, he could never live to
complete’, as&,nbsp,translator Peter Filkins writes in his
afterword.&,nbsp,The Book&,nbsp,Against Death&,nbsp,is
the work of a lifetime: a collection of&,nbsp,Canetti’s
aphorisms, diatribes, musings and commentaries&,nbsp,on and
against death – published in English for the first&,nbsp,time
since his death in 1994 – interspersed with material&,nbsp,from
philosophers and writers including Goethe,
Walter&,nbsp,Benjamin and Robert Walser. This major work by the
1981&,nbsp,Nobel Prize in Literature laureate is a disarming
and often&,nbsp,darkly comic reckoning with the inevitability
of death and&,nbsp,with its politicization, evoking despair at
the loss of loved&,nbsp,ones and the impossibility of facing
one’s own death,&,nbsp,while fiercely protesting the mass
deaths incurred during&,nbsp,war and the willingness of the
despot to wield death as&,nbsp,power. Infused with fervour and
vitality,&,nbsp,The Book
Against&,nbsp,Death&,nbsp,ultimately forms a moving
affirmation of the value&,nbsp,of life itself.
