<br />
Born in [[Ruse, Bulgaria|Ruse]], Bulgaria, to a [[Sephardi Jews|Sephardic Jewish]] family, he later lived in England, Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. He won the [[1981 Nobel Prize in Literature]], "for writings marked by a broad outlook, a wealth of ideas and artistic power".<ref>{{cite web|title=The Nobel Prize in Literature 1981|url=https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1981/|access-date=8 April 2014 |publisher=Nobel Foundation}}</ref> <br />
<br />
He is noted for his nonfiction book ''[[Crowds and Power]]'', among other works.<br />
<br />
==Early life==<br />
He was born in 1905 to businessman Jacques Canetti and Mathilde ({{née}} Arditti) in [[Ruse, Bulgaria|Ruse]], a city on the [[Danube]] in [[Bulgaria]].<ref name = "Marquis Who's Who">{{cite book |chapter= CANETTI, ELIAS |title=Marquis Who's Who in the World |publisher= Macmillan Information Company |place= Wilmette, Illinois, USA |edition= 10th 1991-1992 |year = 1990 |url= https://archive.org/details/whoswhoinworld10edunse/page/n5/mode/2up |url-access= registration |page=[https://archive.org/details/whoswhoinworld10edunse/page/163/mode/2up 163] |accessdate= 6 February 2026 |via= [[Internet Archive]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://bnt.bg/bg/a/trgovska-kshcha-kaneti?page=34|publisher=Bulgarian National Television|title=Canetti Trading House}}</ref> <br />

<br />
In Ruse, Canetti's father and grandfather were successful merchants who operated out of a commercial building, which they had built in 1898.<ref name="gesellschaft">{{cite web |url=http://www.eliascanetti.org/73.0.html|title=The Canetti House&nbsp;– a forum for alternative culture |publisher=Internationale Elias Canetti Gesellschaft |access-date=13 October 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100324203226/http://eliascanetti.org/73.0.html?&L=3 |archive-date=24 March 2010}}</ref> Canetti's mother descended from the Arditti family, one of the oldest Sephardic families in Bulgaria, who were among the founders of the Ruse Jewish colony in the late 18th century. <br />
<br />
The Ardittis can be traced to the 14th century, when they were court physicians and astronomers to the [[Crown of Aragon|Aragonese]] royal court of [[Alfonso IV of Aragon|Alfonso IV]] and [[Peter IV of Aragon|Peter IV]]. Before settling in Ruse, they had migrated to Italy and lived in [[Livorno]] in the 17th century.<ref name="ohrenzeuge">{{cite book|last=Angelova|first=Penka|title=Elias Canetti: Der Ohrenzeuge des Jahrhunderts|publisher=Internationale Elias-Canetti-Gesellschaft Rousse|year=2006|chapter=Die Geburtsstadt von Elias Canetti|chapter-url=https://www.archives.government.bg/tda/docs/canetti_izlojba_ruse.pdf|language=de|access-date=29 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180410202259/https://www.archives.government.bg/tda/docs/canetti_izlojba_ruse.pdf|archive-date=10 April 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref><br />
[[File:Elias Canettis fødested.JPG|right|thumb|The trading house of Elias Avram Canetti, grandfather of Elias Canetti, in [[Ruse, Bulgaria|Ruse]], [[Bulgaria]]]]<br />
<br />
Canetti spent his childhood years, from 1905 to 1911, in Ruse until the family moved to [[Manchester|Manchester, England]], where Canetti's father joined a business established by his wife's brothers. <br />
<br />
In 1912, his father suddenly died. His mother moved with their children first to [[Lausanne]], then, later in the same year, when Canetti was seven, to Vienna. His mother insisted that he learn and speak German. <br />
<br />
By this time, Canetti already spoke [[Judaeo-Spanish|Ladino]] (his native language), [[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]], English, and some French; the last two he studied during the year he spent in Britain. Subsequently, his family moved first to [[Zürich]] and then to [[Frankfurt am Main|Frankfurt]], where Canetti graduated from high school.<br />
<br />
Canetti went back to Vienna in 1924 in order to study chemistry. However, his primary interests during his years in Vienna became philosophy and literature.<br />
<br />
==Career==<br />
Introduced into the literary circles of [[First Austrian Republic|First Republic]] Vienna, he started writing. Politically left-leaning, he was present at the [[July Revolt of 1927]], accidentally came near to the action, was most impressed by the burning of books (recalled frequently in his writings), and left the place quickly with his bicycle.<ref>Stieg, Gerard, ''Fruits de Feu - l'incendie du Palais du Justice de Vienne en 1927 et ses consequences dans la Littérature Autrichienne''. Université de Rouen ({{ISBN|9782877750080}}), 1989.</ref> <br />
<br />
He received a doctorate in chemistry from the [[University of Vienna]] in 1929 but never worked as a chemist.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Elias Canetti {{!}} Bulgarian-born writer {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Elias-Canetti |access-date=2023-02-14 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
In Vienna, he published two works, ''Komödie der Eitelkeit'' 1934 (The Comedy of Vanity) and ''Die Blendung'' 1935 (''[[Auto-da-Fé (novel)|Auto-da-Fé]]'', 1935), before escaping to Great Britain. He reflected on the experiences of Nazi Germany and political chaos in his works, especially exploring mob action and group thinking in the novel ''Die Blendung'' and in the non-fiction ''[[Crowds and Power]]'' (1960). He wrote several volumes of memoirs, in which he contemplated the influence of his multilingual background and childhood.<br />

==Personal life==<br />
[[File:Canetti Peak.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.2|[[Canetti Peak]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]], [[Antarctica]], named after Elias Canetti.]]<br />
<br />
In 1934 in Vienna he married [[Veza Canetti|Veza (Venetiana) Taubner-Calderon]] (1897–1963), who acted as his muse and devoted literary assistant. Canetti remained open to relationships with other women. He had a short affair with sculptor [[Anna Mahler]], the daughter of composer [[Gustav Mahler]]. <br />
<br />
In 1938, after the ''[[Anschluss]]'' with Germany, the Canettis moved to [[London]]. He became closely involved with painter [[Marie-Louise von Motesiczky]], who was to remain a close companion for many years. <br />
<br />
He also had a close relationship with writer Frieda Benedikt (1916–1953; pseudonym Anna Sebastian), whom Canetti had already met in Vienna in 1936.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://uklitag.com/proyecto/waiting-in-the-snow-outside-your-door/ | title=Waiting in the Snow Outside Your Door – Uklitag }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2002/literature-and-illustration-l02303/lot.416.html | title=(#416) Canetti, Elias--Benedikt, Friedl (''Anna Sebastian''). Typescript in English of her novel ''The Monster'', an excoriating fictional portrait of her lover Elias Canetti, apparently with manuscript corrections in Iris Murdoch's hand}}</ref> <br />
<br />
He was one of [[Iris Murdoch]]'s lovers. Her husband [[John Bayley (writer)|John Bayley]]'s memoir refers to him variously as 'the Dichter', 'sage', and 'the monster of Hampstead'.<ref>Johannes G. Pankau, 'Images of Male and Female in Canetti's works,' in Dagmar C. G. Lorenz (ed.), ''A Companion to the Works of Elias Canetti,'' Camden House (2004), p. 2009. {{isbn|978-1-571-13408-0}}. pp. 218-237, p. 221.</ref><ref>[[John Bayley (writer)|John Bayley]], ''Iris: A Memoir of Iris Murdoch'', [[Duckworth Books|Gerald Duckworth & Co.]] 1998. {{isbn| 978-0-715-64427-0}}</ref> Canetti, who demanded submission from women, later mercilessly skewered Murdoch in his posthumous memoir ''Party im Blitz'' (2003).<ref>Ulrich Plass, [https://www.jstor.org/stable/27944771 "Quixotic Struggles: New Books by and about Elias Canetti"] ''Austrian Studies'', Vol. 13, 2005, pp. 234-246, pp. 239-240.</ref><br />
<br />
After Veza died in 1963, Canetti married Hera Buschor (1933–1988), with whom he had a daughter, Johanna, in 1972. Canetti's brother [[Jacques Canetti]] settled in Paris, where he championed a revival of French [[chanson]].<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.lemonde.fr/archives/article/1997/06/10/jacques-canetti-le-decouvreur-de-brassens-et-de-brel_3787006_1819218.html | title=Jacques Canetti, Le découvreur de Brassens et de Brel | work=Le Monde| author=Patrick Labesse | date=10 June 1997 | access-date=22 January 2015}}</ref> <br />
<br />
Despite being a German-language writer, Canetti settled in Britain until the 1970s, receiving British citizenship in 1952. For his last 20 years, Canetti lived mostly in [[Zürich]].<br />
<br />
==Awards==<br />
A writer in the German language, Canetti won the [[Nobel Prize in Literature]] in 1981, "for writings marked by a broad outlook, a wealth of ideas and artistic power". He is known chiefly for his celebrated trilogy of autobiographical memoirs of his childhood and of pre-Anschluss Vienna: ''Die Gerettete Zunge'' (''The Tongue Set Free''); ''Die Fackel im Ohr'' (''The Torch in My Ear''), and ''Das Augenspiel'' (''The Play of the Eyes''); for his modernist novel ''[[Auto-da-Fé (novel)|Auto-da-Fé]]'' (''Die Blendung''); and for ''[[Crowds and Power]]'', a psychological study of crowd behaviour as it manifests itself in human activities ranging from mob violence to religious congregations.<br />
<br />
==Death==<br />
In the 1970s, Canetti began to travel more frequently to Zurich, where he eventually settled and lived for his last 20 years. He died in Zürich in 1994.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/92556/Elias-Canetti| title = ''Encyclopædia Britannica'' profile| date = 20 February 2024}}</ref><br />
