Description

"Felix Krull" is Thomas Mann’s most unusual novel, on which the writer worked for most of his life—from 1911 to 1954—but never finished. The novel is an amazing parody of the "novel of education" while also being a stylized imitation of a classic rogue novel. The main character, Felix Krull, the son of a ruined winemaker, has a fine appearance and charisma, which helps him expertly use people in his schemes. He is shameless and conscience-free, but you simply can’t help falling for his charm. In general, he is no worse than the respectable bourgeois world in which he achieves his goals using not the most honest methods.
