Tu Rostro Manana: 3 Veneno y Sombra y Adios (Contemporanea (Debolsillo)) Book

With this much-anticipated third and last volume of Tu rostro ma�±ana, the work is hailed as one of the literary highlights of our time. The novel kicks off with the premise that the death of another, any other be it our workmate, brother, father, lover, yes, even our child, is preferable to our own. Jacques, the main character, discovers that underneath the seemingly calm Western world there is an underlying need of betrayal and violence that inoculates us all. Description in Spanish: �«Uno no lo desea, pero prefiere siempre que muera el que est�¡ a su lado, en una misi�³n o una batalla, en una escuadrilla a�©rea o bajo un bombardeo o en la trinchera cuando las hab�­a, en un asalto callejero o en un atraco a una tienda o en un secuestro de turistas, en un terremoto, una explosi�³n, un atentado, un incendio, da lo mismo: el compa�±ero, el hermano, el padre o incluso el hijo, aunque sea ni�±o. Y tambi�©n la amada, tambi�©n la amada, antes que uno mismo.�» As�­ arranca Veneno y sombra y adi�³s, el tercer y �ºltimo volumen de Tu rostro ma�±ana, la grandiosa novela de Javier Mar�­as que, por fin completa, y como ya ha anticipado la cr�­tica extranjera, se revela como una de las cumbres literarias de nuestro tiempo. El narrador y protagonista, Jacques o Jaime o Jacobo Deza, acaba por conocer aqu�­ los inesperados rostros de quienes lo rodean y tambi�©n el suyo propio, y descubre que, bajo el mundo m�¡s o menos apaciguado en que vivimos los occidentales, siempre late una necesidad de traici�³n y violencia que se nos inocula como un veneno.Read More
