En 'En busca de Klingsor', Jorge Volpi nos presenta una novela que es a la vez un thriller de suspense y una profunda reflexión sobre la ciencia y sus implicaciones éticas. La trama sigue a Francis Bacon, un físico teórico, en su búsqueda de un científico alemán clave, Klingsor, consejero de Hitler y responsable de desarrollar la bomba atómica. Acompañado por Gustav Links, Bacon se adentra en una Europa devastada por la guerra, persiguiendo un fantasma en un mundo que aún no comprendemos del todo. Esta obra cuestiona los límites de la ciencia y su potencial para el mal, mientras construye una narrativa llena de misterio y tensión.
Jorge Volpi is a Mexican novelist and essayist, best known for his novels such as In Search of Klingsor . Trained as a lawyer, he gained notice in the 1990s with his first publications and participation in the pronouncement of the "Crack Manifesto" with several other young writers to protest the state of Mexican literature and promote their own work. Volpi's novels are distinct from magical realism and other trends of Latin American literature as they focus on the actions of characters and research into academic topics, especially history and science, and do not always focus on Latin American characters and settings. His work has been translated into twenty five languages and recognized with awards such as Biblioteca Breva Award and the Debate-Casa de América as well as a grant from the Guggenheim Foundation. In addition to his writing he has worked as a cultural attaché, the director of Canal 22 in the State of Mexico and is currently the director of the Festival Internacional Cervantino.
