«El ángel azul» is the novel by Heinrich Mann, published by Editorial Andrés Bello Argentina in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
In a town in northern Germany at the beginning of the 20th century, a high-school teacher obsessed with order and discipline sees how a small slip triggers his downfall and affects the whole town. Heinrich Mann narrates with irony and bitterness the decline of a hypocritical society that preaches without practicing.
The novel originally appeared in 1905 under the title «Professor Unrat oder Das Ende eines Tyrannen»; this edition is from 1998.
For readers of German literary classics and literary fiction who appreciate social irony and stories of decadence.
Luiz Heinrich Mann, best known as simply Heinrich Mann, was a German writer known for his sociopolitical novels. From 1930 until 1933, he was president of the fine poetry division of the Prussian Academy of Arts. His fierce criticism of the growing Fascism and Nazism forced him to flee Germany after the Nazis came to power during 1933. He was the elder brother of writer Thomas Mann.
