En 'En busca de Klingsor', Jorge Volpi nos sumerge en una trama donde un joven teniente recibe la misión de capturar al científico clave en las investigaciones atómicas del III Reich. A medida que avanza en su búsqueda, se enfrenta a complejos dilemas sobre el amor, el sexo, los engaños y las múltiples facetas de la personalidad. Esta novela, galardonada con el Premio Biblioteca Breve, es el inicio de la 'Trilogía del siglo XX' del autor, explorando la relación entre la ciencia y el mal en el contexto del nazismo y la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
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.
