Elias Canetti
Canetti's Crowds and Power is probably one of the single best essays I have ever read. It took him something like 21 years to write and won him the nobel prize in 1981. I am always completely blown away when I go into a book store and pretty much every clerk just scratches their head when asked if they happen to have a copy in stock. (look at the wikipedia article for christ sake HERE)
It runs some 469 pages so there is no way i will be scanning the whole thing, however here is the first six pages to get you interested.
