Im Oktober zieht es mich mit dem Literaturnobelpreisträger Elias Canetti ins warme Marrakesch - damit ich auch eine afrikanische Stadt in meinem Städteprojekt habe. In den verbleibenden zwei Monaten werde ich noch nach Valletta/Europa und Singapur/Asien verreisen.
Mein Neues:
Elias CANETTI
The Voices of Marrakesh
A Record of a Visit
Description: Nobel Prize-winning author Canetti spent only a few weeks in Marrakesh, but it was a visit that would remain with him for the rest of his life. In The Voices of Marrakesh, he captures the essence of that place: the crowds, the smells - of spices, camels and the souks - and, most importantly to Canetti, the sounds of the city, from the cries of the blind beggars and the children's call for alms to the unearthly silence on the still roofs above the hordes.
In these immaculately crafted essays, Canetti examines the emotions Marrakesh stirred within him and the people who affected him for ever.
