    <![CDATA[ Bekenntnisse des Hochstaplers Felix Krull. Der Memoiren, erster Teil is a novel by Thomas Mann 1st published in German in 1954 &amp; a year later in English.<br/> Originally the character of Felix Krull appeared in a short story written in 1911. The story wasn't published until 1936, in the book Stories of Three Decades along with 23 other stories written 1896-1929, the year in which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Much later, he expanded the story, managing to finish &amp; publish part one of the Confessions of Felix Krull. Due to his death in 1955 the saga of the morally flexible &amp; irresistible conman remains unfinished.]]>
