书籍简介

1937年，埃利亚斯·卡内蒂开始为这个项目收集笔记，正如译者彼得·菲尔金斯在他的后记中所写的那样，“从定义上说，(他)可能永远活不完”。《反对死亡之书》是卡内蒂一生的杰作:这是卡内蒂自1994年去世以来初次以英文出版的关于死亡和反对死亡的警句、谩骂、沉思和评论的合集，其中穿插了包括歌德和罗伯特·沃尔瑟在内的哲学家和作家的材料。这部1981年诺贝尔文学奖得主的重要作品是对死亡的必然性及其政治化的清算，唤起了失去亲人的绝望和面对自己死亡的不可能，同时强烈抗议战争期间造成的大规模死亡以及暴君将死亡作为权力的意愿。《反对死亡之书》充满了热情和活力，对生命本身的价值形成了一种动人的肯定。

In 1937, Elias Canetti began collecting notes for the project that 'by definition, [he] could never live to complete', as translator Peter Filkins writes in his afterword. The Book Against Death is the work of a lifetime: a collection of Canetti’s aphorisms, diatribes, musings and commentaries on and against death – published in English for the first time since his death in 1994 – interposed with material from philosophers and writers including Goethe and Robert Walser. This major work by the 1981 Nobel Prize in Literature Laureate is a reckoning with the inevitability of death and with its politicization, evoking despair at the loss of loved ones and the impossibility of facing one’s own death, while fiercely protesting the mass deaths incurred during war and the willingness of the despot to wield death as power. Infused with fervour and vitality, The Book Against Death forms a moving affirmation of the value of life itself.
