Elias Canetti's 1935 novel Auto-da-Fe has traditionally been difficult to interpret and the author's intentions in writing it have remained unclear.
Science Meets Literature argues that Auto-da-F is a novel about human nature that illustrates the workings of the human mind and some universal aspects of human behaviour and human social relationships.
Dario Maestripieri, a professor at the University of Chicago, USA, is an interdisciplinary scholar who is interested in understanding the human mind and human behavior from multiple perspectives.
