The late, great work of Thomas Mann - a comic novel of deception and misplaced confidence - back in print for the first time in over twenty years

Waiter by day, man about Paris by night; the young and good-looking Felix Krull has created for himself a personality to charm and deceive the world of wealth. When the Marquis de Venosta makes him a proposal that he can't refuse, the young Felix finds himself on the pathway that will elevate him into the world of riches.

'The most astonishing work that Mann ever wrote and also one of the most perfect, with Felix Krull the world receives from Thomas Mann the gift which German literature has almost proverbially withheld from it: the great comic novel'- Edwin Muir
