Confesiones del estafador Félix Krull

Confessions of the swindler Félix Krull is, without a doubt, a crucial reference of the picaresque novel of the 20th century and a delicious parody of the German Bildungsroman. Posed as a fictional autobiography, Mann tells the strange but fascinating story of Felix Krull, a highly talented con man who lacks scruples and moral principles, and who masters the art of subterfuge and deception, to the point that his own victims they could consider privileged beings. Despite leaving it unfinished, Thomas Mann started the project in 1910 and the idea accompanied him throughout his entire literary career.
