«Die Insel des zweiten Gesichts» is the novel by Albert Vigoleis Thelen, published by Claassen Verlag in hardback (915 pages, in German).
The novel recreates the author's experiences in Mallorca in the 1930s, before the civil war. The protagonist, Vigoleis, the writer's alter ego, and Beatrice, pursued by Nazis and Francoists, survive a series of surreal and unpredictable adventures, such as taking refuge in a brothel of bullfighters. The tone is picaresque and ironic.
The work was originally published in 1953; this hardback edition appeared in 1992. The full title is «Die Insel des zweiten Gesichts: aus den angewandten Erinnerungen des Vigoleis».
For readers of literary fiction and historical novels who appreciate picaresque humour and the interwar setting.
