Confessions of Felix Krull (Confidence Man) by Thomas Mann

Recounts the enchanted career of the con man extraordinaire Felix Krull—a man unhampered by the moral precepts that govern the conduct of ordinary people.

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.

‘. . . 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
