Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Infatuations is a metaphysical murder mystery and a stunningly original literary achievement by Javier Marias, the internationally acclaimed author of A Heart So White and Your Face Tomorrow. Every day, Maria Dolz stops for breakfast at the same cafe. And every day she enjoys watching a handsome couple who follow the same routine. Then one day they aren't there, and she feels obscurely bereft. It is only later, when she comes across a newspaper photograph of the man, lying stabbed in the street, his shirt half off, that she discovers who the couple are. Some time afterwards, when the woman returns to the cafe with her children, who are then collected by a different man, and Maria approaches her to offer her condolences, an entanglement begins which sheds new light on this apparently random, pointless death. With The Infatuations, Javier Marias brilliantly reimagines the murder novel as a metaphysical enquiry, addressing existential questions of life, death, love and morality. The Infatuations is an extraordinary, immersive book about the terrible force of events and their consequences. 'I am greatly impressed by the quality of Marias's writing . . . he uses language like an anatomist uses the scalpel to cut away the layers of the flesh in order to lay bare the innermost secrets of that strangest of species, the human being' W. G. Sebald 'Years ago, I said that Marias was Spain's best living writer . . . Nothing, afterwards, has made me alter that opinion' Eduardo Mendoza, El Pais ''[I am] enthralled by his strange mix of made-up memories, lost experiences and real-life fantasies' Marina Warner, Guardian 'Stylish, cerebral . . . Marias is a startling talent' The New York Times 'Sentence by glorious sentence, is there a better novelist alive in Europe now than Javier Marias?' Independent Javier Marias was born in Madrid in 1951. He has published ten novels, two collections of short stories and several volumes of essays. His work has been translated into thirty-two languages and won a dazzling array of international literary awards, including the prestigious Dublin IMPAC award for A Heart So White. He is also a highly practised translator into Spanish of English authors, including Joseph Conrad, Robert Louis Stevenson, Sir Thomas Browne and Laurence Sterne. He has held academic posts in Spain, the United States and in Britain, as Lecturer in Spanish Literature at Oxford University. Margaret Jull Costa has been a literary translator for over twenty-five years and has translated many novels and short stories by Portuguese, Spanish and Latin American writers, including Javier Marias, Fernando Pessoa, Jose Saramago, Bernardo Atxaga and Ramon del Valle-Inclan. She has won various prizes for her work, including, in 2008, the PEN Book-of-the-Month Translation Award and the Oxford Weidenfeld Translation Prize for her version of Eca de Queiroz's masterpiece The Maias, and, most recently, the 2011 Oxford Weidenfeld Translation Prize for The Elephant's Journey by Jose Saramago. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Erstausgabe Signiert
First American edition of this international bestseller. Octavo, original boards. Signed by Javier Marias on the title page. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket with light rubbing. Jacket design by Gabriele Wilson. Translated from the Spanish by Margaret Jull Costa. "The Infatuations plays off Marias's enchantingly sinuous sentences. They suck you in and lull you along with their rhythm, which gives the unusual and palpable awareness of how masterfully Marias has made time itself--the gramatical tense of language, the imaginary time in the novel, the real time in our own lives--his peculiar object of investigation. The prose of The Infatuations is as casual as spoken language yet paradoxically feels honed to within an inch of its life" (Eric Banks).
