Product details

Peter Kien, the greatest sinologist of his time, leads an absurd, world-alienated cave life in his windowless apartment surrounded by 25,000 books. When his housekeeper Therese convinces him to marry her, it marks the beginning of his descent into madness. When "The Blinding" was first published in 1935, it was Thomas Mann and Robert Musil who sang the praises of Canetti's novel. However, many years would pass before Canetti's work was recognized internationally. In 1981, the author received the Nobel Prize in Literature for his literary work – read with great empathy by Matthias Ponnier. Unabridged reading by Matthias Ponnier, 2 mp3 CDs - approximately 20 hours and 54 minutes.
