«Las cabezas trocadas» is the novel by Thomas Mann, published by Edhasa in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
With the appearance of a naive tale with an Indian air, Thomas Mann presents his usual conflict between art and life. The anecdote: two men in love with the same woman exchange their heads thanks to a Hindu divinity, for she loves the interiority of one and the body of the other. The swap does not solve their problems and suggests several readings.
Volume 26 of the Pocket-Edhasa collection. Translated from German by Francisco Ayala.
For readers of contemporary fiction who want to approach Thomas Mann through one of his short works, set in India.
Paul Thomas Mann was a German novelist, short story writer, social critic, philanthropist, essayist, and the 1929 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate. His highly symbolic and ironic epic novels and novellas are noted for their insight into the psychology of the artist and the intellectual. His analysis and critique of the European and German soul used modern versions of German and Biblical stories, as well as the ideas of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Arthur Schopenhauer.
