Da una parte un grande studioso, Kien, che disprezza i professori, ritiene superflui e sgradevoli i contatti col mondo e ama in fondo una cosa sola: i libri. Dall’altra la sua governante, Therese, che raccoglie in sé le più raffinate essenze della meschinità umana. Romanzo primo e unico di Canetti, opera solitaria ed estrema, segnata dalla intransigente felicità degli inizi, Auto da fé racconta l’incrociarsi di queste due remote traiettorie e ciò che ne consegue – la minuziosa, feroce vendetta della vita su Kien, che aveva voluto eluderla con la stessa acribia con cui analizzava un testo antico.
