En 'En busca de Klingsor', el teniente Francis P. Bacon recibe la misión de encontrar al científico que controló las investigaciones atómicas del Tercer Reich. Este científico, conocido como Klingsor, es una figura clave en la organización secreta de físicos y místicos de las SS, dedicada a la construcción de la bomba atómica. A medida que Bacon sigue las huellas de Klingsor, descubre una red de complicidad en la élite alemana y se enfrenta a dilemas de amor, sexo y la incertidumbre moral de la época. Esta novela cuestiona la ciencia y sus posibles usos para el mal, narrando una historia de suspense en la que la búsqueda de un fantasma se vuelve cada vez más inquietante.
Jorge Volpi is a Mexican novelist and essayist, best known for his novels such as In Search of Klingsor . Trained as a lawyer, he gained notice in the 1990s with his first publications and participation in the pronouncement of the "Crack Manifesto" with several other young writers to protest the state of Mexican literature and promote their own work. Volpi's novels are distinct from magical realism and other trends of Latin American literature as they focus on the actions of characters and research into academic topics, especially history and science, and do not always focus on Latin American characters and settings. His work has been translated into twenty five languages and recognized with awards such as Biblioteca Breva Award and the Debate-Casa de América as well as a grant from the Guggenheim Foundation. In addition to his writing he has worked as a cultural attaché, the director of Canal 22 in the State of Mexico and is currently the director of the Festival Internacional Cervantino.
