The final installment in Gonçalo M. Tavares “Kingdom” cycle to be translated into English, A Man: Klaus Klump is a harrowing portrait of a man without values, making his way through a world almost as immoral. Klaus takes care of the family business; he doesn’t feel fear, hunger, or love. He plays a game, and this game and its object consist of one thing: making money. No matter who you are, Klaus thinks, there is only one thing of importance: to win rather than lose.
