I must admit with some embarrassment that I have not read Canetti, @josemalavem. The expressions and reflections that you make on his work, seems to me, as you say, very relevant in our times. I stop at the author's reflections on power, how it can not only corrupt, it also becomes a double-edged sword for the one who holds it, and especially for the one who achieves it without having forged it. A reading that becomes obligatory and pertinent so as not to make political mistakes and educate man. Thank you for sharing. Greetings

Canetti is an author of very pleasant writing when it comes to narrative texts (fictional or autobiographical), but very demanding in the case of essays or research texts, such as Mass and power (very voluminous book, by the way). It is really important to read it for civilizing reflection, to say it with a broad word. Thank you for your reading and comment, @nancybriti.
