The Voices of Marrakech' is the book that makes Canetti something of a trusted friend to the reader and in which, from all the descriptions of the misery of the Oriental metropolis on the edge of human existence, a kind of joy in everything human (.) shines out,' wrote François Bondy. He describes his first 'encounter with camels'; Canetti roams through the narrow streets of the city; in the Mellah, the Jewish quarter of Marrakech, he observes the silk sellers, discovers restless, restless merchants who are on the move with few goods and offer tiny items for sale. Here in this book, it is Anne Bennent who brings Canetti's language back to the oral tradition, recounting these mementos, sketches, snapshots. Together with Otto Lechner's music, which was composed for this recording, a large sound picture of this famous travelogue emerges.
