«Els caps bescanviats» is Thomas Mann's philosophical novel, published by Edhasa in paperback (161 pages, in Catalan).
Thomas Mann reworks with irony an ancient Indian legend about the tension between body and mind. Two friends, Shridaman and Nanda, appear with their heads swapped after a magical restoration; Sita, Shridaman's wife, cannot tell which of the two combinations is her true husband.
The work was originally published in 1940 as «Die vertauschten Köpfe. Eine indische Legende»; this Catalan edition appeared in 1989 in the Autors Contemporanis collection.

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.
