En un contexto histórico fascinante, Jorge Volpi concibe y ejecuta temas de suma trascendencia como son la relación entre la ciencia y el mal y la búsqueda de la verdad. El joven teniente Francis P. Bacon recibe la orden de capturar al científico que controló las investigaciones atómicas del Tercer Reich. Como Mefistófeles de Hitler, Klingsor, su nombre clave, supervisaba la organización secreta de físicos y místicos de las SS dedicada a resolver la construcción de la bomba atómica. Mientras persigue las huellas de Klingsor, y con ellas el rastro de complicidad de la élite alemana en los protocolos del horror, el teniente Bacon descubre a su vez los escurridizos dilemas del amor y el sexo, los disfraces de la personalidad, la infinita sutileza de la mentira, cayendo de bruces en la desgarradora encrucijada de la incertidumbre moral que preside nuestra época. De lectura a la vez turbulenta y cautivadora, enteramente alejada de los patrones usuales de la narrativa hispánica, En busca de Klingsor es un asombroso examen del dilema faustiano que en nuestro siglo, ha encarado a muchos con la atracción del horror.
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.
