«Cincuenta caracteres (El testigo oidor)» is a book of portraits by Elias Canetti, published by Editorial Labor in paperback (216 pages, in Spanish).
The book offers an exploration of the human condition through fifty distinct characters. Each one appears portrayed in an independent text, like a self-contained vignette; the whole functions as a gallery of recognizable human types and a humorous look at their behaviors.
With the original German title «Der Ohrenzeuge. Fünfzig Charaktere», this edition translated by Juan José del Solar belongs to the Punto Omega collection (no. 263).
It is aimed at readers of fiction and short narrative, particularly those who appreciate character portraits and the observation of the human condition.
Elias Canetti was a German-language writer, known as a modernist novelist, playwright, memoirist, and nonfiction writer.
