Synopsis
Canetti's classic masterwork analyzes the working of crowds, how they form and disperse, and what they say about humanity in general. Canetti's groundbreaking book takes into account the crowds at sporting events and political rallies, as well as the behavior of monkeys, alcoholics, and pilgrims to Mecca. His Nobel Prize in 1981 was a recognition of the value of this great work to the disciplines of sociology, anthropology, and philosophy.

Publisher's Note
Crowds and Power is a revolutionary work, in which Elias Canetti finds a new way of looking at human history and psychology. He explores Shiite festivals, the English Civil War, the finger exercises of monkeys, and the effects of inflation in Weimar Germany. In this study of the interplay of crowds, Canetti offers profound and startling portraits of the human condition.
