Andre Deutsch, publisher, London - ISBN:0233984348 first UK edition, 1989. hardcover, 5¾" x 8¾", with dust jacket. AS NEW book in AS NEW unclipped dust jacket. Canetti's genius is perhaps nowhere more evident than in his autobiography. This volume, the second volume of Canetti's memoirs, is above all else the account of his admiration for the first great mentor of his adulthood, the Viennese writer Karl Kraus. The book is also a portrait of Canetti's first wife, Veza. Within the framework of these great passions he provides an astonishing account of Vienna and Berlin of the 1920s … the voices of Brecht, Isaac Babel and George Grosz are clearly heard.
