Canetti worked brilliantly in many forms, but the three volumes that comprise his autobiography are where his genius is perhaps most evident. The first volume, <i>The Tongue Set Free</i>, presents the events, personalities, and intellectual forces that fed Canetti's early creative development. <i>The Torch in My Ear</i> explores his admiration for the first great mentor of his adulthood, Karl Krauss, and also describes his first marriage. The final volume, <i>The Play of the Eyes</i>, is set in Vienna between 1931 and 1937, with the European catastrophe imminent; here he vividly portrays relationships with Hermann Broch and Robert Musil, among others.<br></div> 806933 1999 The Memoirs of Elias Canetti: The Tongue Set Free, The Torch in My Ear, The Play of the Eyes total:44|5:20|4:16|3:7|2:0|1:1| 44 186 68 4 3 0 false false Thu Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Tue Feb 19 18:45:35 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 19 18:46:10 -0800 2008
