«Confesiones del aventurero Félix Krull» is Thomas Mann's picaresque novel, published by Editorial Planeta in hardcover (222 pages, in Spanish).
Félix Krull, son of a ruined German wine merchant, turns his life into a work of art through deceit and imposture. The novel, a parody of the bildungsroman, shows how his tricks and thefts end up shaping his own morality, with an irony that evokes Cervantes and Stendhal.
This edition belongs to the Nobel Prize collection and includes the translation by Anny dell'Erba. The work was originally published in 1954 under the title Bekenntnisse des Hochstaplers Felix Krull.
For readers interested in twentieth-century German narrative and in the satire of the novel of formation.
Paul Thomas Mann was a German novelist, short story writer, social critic, philanthropist, essayist, and the 1929 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate. His highly symbolic and ironic epic novels and novellas are noted for their insight into the psychology of the artist and the intellectual. His analysis and critique of the European and German soul used modern versions of German and Biblical stories, as well as the ideas of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Arthur Schopenhauer.
