Ilustration Concering Books The Voices of Marrakesh: A Record of a Visit

Winner of the 1981 Nobel Prize for Literature, Elias Canetti uncovers the secret life hidden beneath Marrakesh’s bewildering array of voices, gestures and faces. In a series of sharply etched scenes, he portrays the languages and cultures of the people who fill its bazaars, cafes, and streets. The book presents vivid images of daily life: the storytellers in the Djema el Fna, the armies of beggars ready to set upon the unwary, and the rituals of Moroccan family life. This is Marrakesh -described by one of Europe’s major literary intellects in an account lauded as "cosmopolitan in the tradition of Goethe" by the New York Times. "A unique travel book," according to John Bayley of the London Review of Books.

Appraise Of Books The Voices of Marrakesh: A Record of a Visit

What I really enjoyed about The Voices of Marrakesh: A Record of a Visit is that it is such a modest, personal endeavor by a writer who, in his most brilliant books like Auto-Da-Fe and Crowds and Power, was incredible ambitious.But here's the catch: I never finished Auto-Da-Fe. Though I read Crowds and Power, I would have to read it again to draw any clarity from the brilliance of its passages. In other words, these two books are hard work.So it's nice to read an 'adventure' by an author with

I hesitated about whether to describe this as a book of essays or short stories. Canetti certainly presents them as realistic sketches, but I cannot help but feel that they were also shaped into little stories by the author. Mind you, if all of the details were just as he experienced them, it makes the book even more fascinating! Canetti starts off in an amusing way, with a story about three unfortunate encounters with camels. Some of my favourite lines in the collection were in this essay. The

Highly unfairly, Im judging this book based on the fact that I read it while in a state of limbo. I had roughly a day to spare before I could next get to a bookshop, so had to be content with whatever was short and on a nearby shelf. It is an interesting look at Morocco in the Sixties with the sections of Marrakeshs Jewish quarter perhaps serving as the most fascinating but an eagerness to get the book finished meant I perhaps didnt give it the attention it deserved. Skim reading as a book nears

Sat down to mindlessly read the start of this book. Accidentally read the whole thing. Beautiful.

Well-written short essays of life in Marrakesh from Pulitzer Prize winning author.

Steve wrote a great review; I wont try to add anything.

Canetti walks the city and takes in the masses of people. He notes the voices of camel drivers, beggars, school children, tired foreigners, Jewish job seekers. Small scenes and big observations, one could only wish it was longer.
