<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Elias Canetti, winner of the 1981 Nobel Prize in Literature, was one of the major intellectual figures and polymaths of the twentieth century. A master of many genres, he is known especially for his novel, <i>Auto da Fe</i>, and his great work of social theory, <i>Crowds and Power</i>. But Canetti's genius is perhaps nowhere more evident than in the three volumes of his autobiography. This first volume, <i>Tongue Set Free</i>, provides a searching portrait of the author's personal background and creative development as it presents the events, personalities (especially Canetti's mother), and intellectual forces that shaped the growth of the artist as a young man.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Elias Canetti, winner of the 1981 Nobel Prize in Literature, was one of the major intellectual figures and polymaths of the twentieth century.
