«Historia de un idiota contada por él mismo o El contenido de la felicidad» is the novel by Félix de Azúa, published by Anagrama in hardcover (128 pages).
The author presents the twentieth century, not the nineteenth, as the true «siglo idiota», and embodies that idea in a protagonist of the second European postwar period who embarks on an obsessive investigation of happiness. That search leads him to ruin, in an ironic tale about the human condition, social prestige, and happiness as a contemporary obsession.
The novel was published in 1986 in Barcelona within Anagrama's Narrativas hispánicas collection, where it occupies number 38.
Aimed at a general audience with an interest in contemporary fiction and ironic humor.
Félix de Azúa Comella is a Spanish professor of aesthetics and philosophy, poet, novelist, essayist and translator, member of Real Academia Española.
