| book description |

The Book Against DeathÂ is the work of a lifetime: a collection of Elias Canettiâ€™s powerful, disarming, and often bleakly comic observations, diatribes, musings, and commentaries on and against death. Evoking despair, melancholy, and fury, Canetti examines the inevitable demise of all beingsâ€”from the ant, the fish, and the worm to an executioner, a court painter, and a Greek godâ€”while fiercely protesting the mass deaths incurred during war and the willingness of the despot to wield death as power. Interspersed with material from philosophers and writers such as Goethe, Walter Benjamin, and Robert Walser, The Book Against DeathÂ is ultimately a moving affirmation of the value of life itself.Â Canetti famously refused to die before heâ€™d read all his obituaries and corrected them. â€œI accept no death.â€â€”Elias Canetti (1905â€“1994)
