The Rescued Tongue (canetti Collection)

About This Novel

"The Rescued Tongue" is the first part of Canetti's autobiographical trilogy. It is written from birth to the age of 16 and is connected by three main threads: the close and tense relationship between him and his mother, his love for words and language, and his pursuit of academics and knowledge. Using a child's narration tone and an adult's sophistication, Canetti recalls his life in the home of his strict and demanding grandfather, the pain of losing his father at the age of seven, and his rapid learning of German under the pressure of his mother. He also has impressive descriptions of cities where he lived, such as Ruschuk, Manchester, London, Vienna, and Zurich.
