Quick selection of the catalog-visible works signed by Javier Marías.
The protagonist and narrator, Juan Ranz, a translator and professional interpreter, is now the newly married, and on his own journey of boyfriends, in Havana, looking at the balcony, is confused by an unknown woman waiting on the street, and unintentionally listens to a hotel conversation. From then on, "disaster presences" will involve your marriage. But the key to that discomfort may be in the past, because his father had to marry three times so that he could be born.
After a recent marriage separation, Jaime Deza is living in London and working for the BBC. He sometimes frees Sir Peter Wheeler, Professor at Oxford University, whom he met by a common friend, Professor Toby Rylands, in turn friend of Deza during the time he worked at that university.
Very young people met Berta Isla and Tomás Nevinson in Madrid, and very early was their determination to spend their lives together, without suspecting that they were expected an intermittent coexistence and then a disappearance. Tomas, half Spanish and half English, is a supergifted for languages and accents, and that makes, during his studies in Oxford, the Crown put its eyes on him.
