«Auto de fe» is the novel by Elías Canetti, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover within the Biblioteca de Plata collection (496 pages, in Spanish).
The only novel by Elías Canetti is an indictment of interwar society. The protagonist, Kien, is a scholar devoted to study who rejects honors and lives in isolation; his aversion to human contact and his determination to preserve the truth make the crowd a constant threat to his equilibrium.
The Spanish translation is by Juan José del Solar Bardelli. The edition includes a prologue by Mario Vargas Llosa and a biographical sketch by Mario Muchnik. The novel was published in 1935 as Die Blendung.
Elias Canetti was a German-language writer, known as a modernist novelist, playwright, memoirist, and nonfiction writer.
