…books available, from all ages, that document the human experience? For instance: - Scriptures of the major religions - The Conquest of Happiness (Bertrand Russell) - On Aggression (Konrad Lorenz) - Crowds and Power (Elias Canetti) - LSD, My Problem Child (Albert Hofmann) - Huis Clos (J.P. Sartre) - Essays by Michel de Montaigne - The Incoherence of the Incoherence (Ibn Rushd)
……顺便提醒一下，记得把埃利亚斯·卡内蒂 1960 年的代表作《群众与权力》（Crowds and Power）加到你的待读清单里！他 1981 年拿诺贝尔奖很大程度上就是因为这本书。你可以在线免费读（也有 PDF 版）。
..and a reminder to add Elias Canetti's 1960 masterpiece "Crowds and Power" to your to-read list! He won the Nobel prize in 1981 largely because of this book. You can read it online (as PDF too), at no charge.
…like Max Weber or Elias Canetti especially because they invoke a kind of mysticism which is hardly captured by most modern authors and researchers. I remember the impact that reading Elias Canetti's "Crowds and Power" had on me when I was around 16 years of age. It was in my dad's book shelf, an old and battered book. Afterwards I picked up Konrad Lorenz' "On Aggression" from the same book shelf. Good times. I'm…
关于这个话题有一本非常棒的书，就是埃利亚斯·卡内蒂的《群众与权力》（德语：Masse und Macht）。卡内蒂拿过诺贝尔文学奖，文笔极佳。http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowds_and_Power http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masse_und_Macht
A very nice book on the topic is Elias Canetti's Crowds and Power (Masse und Macht). Canetti won the Nobel Prize in Literate and writes very well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowds_and_Power http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masse_und_Macht
…really cool gems in it, it is incredibly dry. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are really interested, and even then, be prepared for it to be a slog. For something along similar-ish lines, Canetti's Crowds and Power does a good job of weaving together some lessons from Battuta's account with many other primary historical sources.
……有没有各个时代记录人类体验的书籍？比如：- 各大宗教经典 - 《幸福之路》（伯特兰·罗素）- 《论攻击》（康拉德·洛伦茨）- 《群众与权力》（埃利亚斯·卡内蒂）- 《LSD，我的问题孩子》（阿尔伯特·霍夫曼）- 《禁闭》（萨特）- 《蒙田随笔》（米歇尔·德·蒙田）- 《不连贯的破灭》（伊本·鲁世德）

……像马克斯·韦伯或埃利亚斯·卡内蒂，尤其因为他们唤起了一种现代大多数作者和研究者很难捕捉到的神秘感。我记得大概 16 岁读埃利亚斯·卡内蒂的《群众与权力》时带给我的震撼。那本书放在我爸的书架上，破破旧旧的。后来我又从同一个书架上拿了康拉德·洛伦茨的《论攻击》。真是美好的时光。我……

我推荐埃利亚斯·卡内蒂的《群众与权力》（Crowds & Power）。真该有人出一个适应当下的 21 世纪改编版。
I recommend "Crowds & Power" by Elias Canetti. Someone should release an adapted 21st century edition.

……里面确实有些很酷的干货，但枯燥得要命。除非你真的特别感兴趣，否则我不推荐，就算真感兴趣，也得做好啃硬骨头的准备。要是想看类似方向的内容，卡内蒂的《群众与权力》写得挺好，把伊本·白图泰游记里的一些经验教训和许多其他一手历史文献很好地融汇在了一起。
