Soft cover. Zustand: As New. No Jacket. Special Edition. Uncorrected Proof Galley of a New Directions Paperback Original, 2024, 317pp. Translated by Peter Filkins. Introduction by Joshua Cohen. Bright, clean & tight paperback, unread, in As New condition. "The Nobel Prize winner Elias Canetti all his life declared himself a 'mor…tal enemy' of death--and here, in English at last, is his landmark book on the subject. [] THE BOOK AGAINST DEATH is the work of a lifetime: a collection of Elias Canetti's powerful, disarming, and often bleakly comic observations, diatribes, and musings on and against death. Evoking despair, melancholy, and fury, Canetti examines the inevitable demise of all beings--from the ant, the fish, and the worm to an executioner, a court painter, and a Greek god--while fiercely protesting the mass deaths incurred during war and the willingness of despots to wield death as power. Interspersed with material from philosophers and writers such as Goethe, Walter Benjamin, and Robert Walser, THE BOOK AGAINST DEATH is ultimately a moving affirmation of the value of life itself." [publisher copy] "I accept no death."--Elias Canetti. "Rarely has anyone been so at home in the mind, with so little ambivalence. Far from being a source of complacency, this attitude is Canetti's great strength. . . [He] is someone who has felt in a profound way the responsibility of words. . . His work eloquently and nobly defends tension, exertion, moral and amoral seriousness."--Susan Sontag, The New York Review of Books. "Canetti led his life without compromise, fear, or guilt, and [reading him is] like discovering, without warning, a complex and satisfying work of art."--David Denby, The New Yorker. "Even thirty years after his death, one thing is certain: Elias Canetti is alive and kicking."--Tobias Schwartz, Der Tagesspiegel. "His style is suave yet enrapturing, his memory and attention to detail simply extraordinary. . . One feels that in Canetti, modern European culture found its ultimate keeper."--Ilan Stavans, Forward. "A diary of aphorisms circling the abyss, a project undertaken in the hopes that his own death would die. . . It's one of those great books premised on its own failure, which increasingly I feel are the only books worth writing. Every page is alive with animus, ardor, humor, sufferance, with venom for death and its posturing acolytes. . ."--Dan Piepenbring, Harper's. [This galley has a different ISBN than the published book.] Paperback galley proof w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued.
