Discover Thomas Mann's comic novel of deception and misplaced confidence.

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.

Critic reviews

"The most astonishing work that Mann ever wrote and also one of the most perfect"—Edwin Muir
All stars
Most relevant
Those of you who've been turned off or intimidated by Mann's denser works, e.g., "The Magic Mountain" or "Doctor Faustus" - have no fear of this delightful masterpiece: it is thoroughly engaging and entertaining from start to finish. The novel is defined by the very distinctive voice of the title character, and Mark Elstob's brilliant performance captures all of Felix's narcissistic charm perfectly. Highly recommended!

An absolute delight.
