In his international bestseller In Search of Klingsor, Jorge Volpi takes us from the Institute of Advanced Study to the heart of Hitler's Germany, where the line between truth and lies is all but dissolved.Mysterious, seductive, and immediately engrossing, this startlingly accomplished thriller explores the nexus between science and human nature and how they shaped the world in the aftermath of World War II. In 1940, Francis Bacon, a brilliant young American physicist, is invited to join the prestigious institute at Princeton, the world's foremost physics research facility. But a series of personal indiscretions forces him to accept a different, more sinister, assignment: uncover "Klingsor," Hitler's top adviser on the scientific work in the Third Reich, including the race to create the first atomic bomb. Bacon's efforts to expose the truth lead him to Gustav Links, a survivor of the attempted coup against Hitler. With Link's help, he continues researching postwar Germany -- in an era when a secret was really a secret and a lie wasn't necessarily a sin -- and falls into a complicated relationship with an alluring woman. His search for Klingsor, an ominous and seemingly omnicient adversary, is part mystery, part psychological puzzle, part witty intellectual game. In Search of Klingsor places real people in speculative historical fiction, combining the ingenuity of a scientific investigation with the suspense of a great espionage novel.

¿Quién es Klingsor? Detrás de este nombre en clave se oculta un personaje siniestro, o quizá solo una leyenda. Los datos disponibles indican que Klingsor se refiere a un científico para quien son familiares la mecánica cuántica, la teoría de la relatividad, las partículas ubatómicas, la fisión, pero ante todo, que es consejero de Hitler y responsable de las estrategias científico-bélicas del Reich, entre ellas, desarrollar la bomba atómica. Su búsqueda le es encomendada a Francis Bacon, físico teórico al que la guerra le hará dejar de perseguir resultados científicos para perseguir seres humanos. Lo asiste en sus pesquisas Gustav Links, matemático que participó en un atentado fallido contra el Führer. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Who is Klingsor? Behind this code name lies a sinister character, or perhaps just a legend. The information available indicates that Klingsor refers to a scientist familiar with quantum mechanics, the theory of relativity, subatomic particles, and nuclear fission, but above all, one who is an adviser to Hitler and responsible for the military science strategies of the Reich, among which is the development of the atomic bomb. The search for him is entrusted to Francis Bacon, theoretical physicist whom the war influences to stop searching for scientific results and start searching for people. He is assisted in his investigation by Gustav Links, a mathematician who participated in a failed attempt at the Führer's life.

Driven by such diverse advances as the Human Genome Project and the explosion of the World Wide Web, and also by the threat of human-inspired disasters such as global warming, the field of science and literature studies is currently undergoing an unprecedented expansion.

In spite of this, Science, Literature, and Film in the Spanish-Speaking World is the first and only book to treat this new and dynamic field from an Hispanic perspective. This unique volume opens the door to an entirely new focus in the study of Hispanic literature and culture.

Strategic Occidentalism written by Ignacio M. Sanchez Prado and has been published by Northwestern University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-08-15 with Literary Criticism categories.


Strategic Occidentalism examines the transformation, in both aesthetics and infrastructure, of Mexican fiction since the late 1970s. During this time a framework has emerged characterized by the corporatization of publishing, a frictional relationship between Mexican literature and global book markets, and the desire of Mexican writers to break from dominant models of national culture. In the course of this analysis, Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado engages with theories of world literature, proposing that “world literature” is a construction produced at various levels, including the national, that must be studied from its material conditions of production in specific sites. In particular, he argues that Mexican writers have engaged in a “strategic Occidentalism” in which their idiosyncratic connections with world literature have responded to dynamics different from those identified by world-systems or diffusionist theorists. Strategic Occidentalism identifies three scenes in which a cosmopolitan aesthetics in Mexican world literature has been produced: Sergio Pitol’s translation of Eastern European and marginal British modernist literature; the emergence of the Crack group as a polemic against the legacies of magical realism; and the challenges of writers like Carmen Boullosa, Cristina Rivera Garza, and Ana García Bergua to the roles traditionally assigned to Latin American writers in world literature.

One of the late Carlos Fuentes's final projects, this compendium of his criticism traces the evolution of the Latin American novel from the discovery of America to the present day. Combining historical perspective with personal and often opinionated interpretation, Fuentes gives us a tour from Machado de Assis to Borges and beyond. A landmark analysis, as well as a scintillating and often wry commentary on a great author's peers and influences, this book is as much a contribution to Latin American literature as it is a chronicle of that literature's greatest achievements.
