«Auto de fe» is the novel by Elias Canetti, published by Muchnik Editores in paperback (421 pages, in Spanish).
In Vienna, the sinologist Peter Kien has devoted his life to books: he lives in a library of twenty-five thousand volumes and avoids any social contact. His marriage to the housekeeper triggers a progressive collapse, portrayed by Canetti with black humor and mordant prose as a satire of intellectual alienation and lack of communication.
Work originally published as 'Die Blendung' in 1935, with translation by Juan José del Solar. Canetti received the Nobel Prize in 1981. The first part is titled 'Una cabeza sin mundo'.
For those interested in twentieth-century European fiction, social satire and modern literary classics.
Elias Canetti was a German-language writer, known as a modernist novelist, playwright, memoirist, and nonfiction writer.
