Masses and Power + Human Territory
About This Novel
This collection of works by Elias Canetti includes the following two works: "Crowds and Power" explores the dynamic relationship between the masses and groups, and how and why the masses obey the power of their rulers. Human history in the 20th century was filled with devastating disasters such as collective persecution, group fanaticism, and world wars, which prompted Canetti to think about the relationship between the masses and power. "The Territory of Man" is a collection of four notebooks by Elias Canetti, the winner of the 1981 Nobel Prize for Literature, including "The Territory of Man", "The Secret Heart of the Clock", "The Pain of the Fly" and "Hampstead Supplement". The creation time spans from 1942 to 1985. It is an important supplement to Canetti's novels, political commentaries, memoirs and dramas. It is the crystallization of an independent reflection process that lasted for half a century. It can be called the ideological map of this literary master, showing the origin, formation and transformation of his thoughts, and testifying to the history of the 20th century.
