Life
Elias Canetti was born in Ruse, Bulgaria. The family moved to England when he was six, and two years later moved to Austria. Though he received his PhD in chemistry, he never worked as a chemist, choosing to devote himself to writing instead. For many years Canetti lived in London, but during the last 20 years of his life, he resided in Switzerland. Canetti’s native land can be said to be the German language, which despite his nomadic life remained the language in which he wrote his works.

Work
Elias Canetti’s literary body of work includes a novel, three plays, a study of mass movements, some author profiles and his memoirs. The novel Die Blendung (1935) (The Deception) was originally conceived as a series of novels inspired by The Human Comedy series by Honoré de Balzac, the French 19th-century author. But instead of a series of books, Canetti devoted many years to studies of mass movements, which resulted in the book Masse und Macht (1960) (Crowds and Power).

生平
埃利亚斯-卡内蒂出生在保加利亚的鲁塞。他六岁时全家搬到英国，两年后又搬到奥地利。虽然他获得了化学博士学位，但他从未担任过化学家，而是选择投身于写作。多年来，卡内蒂居住在伦敦，但在他生命的最后20年，他居住在瑞士。卡内蒂的故乡可以说是德语，尽管他过着流浪的生活，但德语仍然是他写作品的语言。

作品
埃利亚斯-卡内蒂的文学作品包括一部小说、三个剧本、一份关于群众运动的研究报告、一些作家简介和他的回忆录。小说Die Blendung (1935) (The Deception)最初被设想为一系列小说，灵感来自法国19世纪作家奥诺雷-德-巴尔扎克的《人间喜剧》系列。但卡内蒂没有写系列丛书，而是花了很多年时间研究群众运动，结果写出了《人群与权力》（Masse und Macht，1960）一书。
