{"product_id":"9781804270899","title":"The Book Against Death - Elias Canetti","description":"In 1937, Elias Canetti began collecting notes for the project�that `by definition, he could never live to complete', as�translator Peter Filkins writes in his afterword.�The Book�Against Death�is the work of a lifetime: a collection of�Canetti's aphorisms, diatribes, musings and commentaries�on and against death - published in English for the first�time since his death in 1994 - interspersed with material�from philosophers and writers including Goethe, Walter�Benjamin and Robert Walser. This major work by the 1981�Nobel Prize in Literature laureate is a disarming and often�darkly comic reckoning with the inevitability of death and�with its politicization, evoking despair at the loss of loved�ones and the impossibility of facing one's own death,�while fiercely protesting the mass deaths incurred during�war and the willingness of the despot to wield death as�power. Infused with fervour and vitality,�The Book Against�Death�ultimately forms a moving affirmation of the value�of life itself.","brand":"Elias Canetti","offers":[{"title":"352 pages \/ 06\/06\/2024 \/ Memoirs","offer_id":57459210256759,"sku":"9781804270899","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781804270899.jpg?v=1789549479","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781804270899","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
