Abstract:
Die Stimmen von Marrakesch (1967) is one of the characteristic texts produced by Bulgarian-born Austrian
writer and Nobel prize winner Elias Canetti. On the one hand, his Aufzeichnungen nach einer Reise (A Record
of a Visit) lays the foundations of the aphoristic style of his multi-volume “records”, and, on the other hand, is
imbedded in the European tradition of travel writing as a genre dedicated to memoir culture. The paper traces
the rhetoric of memory as a narrative principle, unifying the impressions of the traveller as a by-standing
observer of the real journey, his reflections on the stories further developed in his imagination and his rhetorical
devices for the articulation of universal human ideas.
Keywords:
Elias Canetti, Marrakesh, rhetoric of memory, retrospective travel narrative.
