This well-loved copy of Thomas Mann’s final novel, “Confessions of Felix Krull, Confidence Man,” offers a glimpse into the life and mind of one of the 20th century’s literary giants. Published posthumously in 1954, the novel satirizes the bourgeois society of Mann’s time through the exploits of its charming yet unreliable narrator, Felix Krull. Collectors will appreciate Denver Lindley’s skilled translation, which captures Mann’s witty and incisive prose. Despite its flawed dust jacket, this hardcover edition remains a testament to the enduring appeal of Mann’s work, which explores themes of identity, morality, and the human condition with remarkable depth and insight. The handwritten notes on a few pages add a personal touch, inviting readers to engage with the text and unravel the layers of meaning within Mann’s final masterpiece.
