Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 1843432587, Paperback)

Iris Murdoch called Auto da Fé "one of the few great novels of the century." Peter Kien is a reclusive Sinologist living in Germany between the wars. Canetti creates the elements in Kien, and in his personal relationships, that will lead to his destruction.
