«Die gerettete Zunge: Geschichte einer Jugend» is the autobiography of Elias Canetti, published by FISCHER Taschenbuch in paperback (336 pages, in German).
Elias Canetti reconstructs in this work his early years, from his childhood in the Bulgarian city of Rustschuk, within the Sephardic Jewish community, to his adolescence between Manchester, Vienna, Zurich and Frankfurt. The narrative combines family life, emotional conflicts and the intellectual awakening guided by his mother, against the backdrop of Europe before and after the First World War. It is a lucid and unsparing look at the formation of a writer.
First volume of Canetti's autobiographical trilogy, followed by «Die Fackel im Ohr» and «Das Augenspiel», according to Goodreads.
Recommended for readers of German literature and those interested in autobiographies and early 20th-century Europe.
