Los Enamoramientos / Infatuation

Javier Marias

Esta es una novela de gran ambicion literaria y que el autor describe asi Se trata de una historia sencilla y de una novela bastante menos sencilla, por no decir compleja, aunque mucho menos que Tu rostro manana. Como el titulo indica, habla del estado de enamoramiento, considerado casi universalmente como algo positivo e incluso ‘redentor’ a veces, tanto que ese estado parece justificar casi todas las cosas: las acciones nobles y desinteresadas, pero tambien los mayores desmanes y ruindades. Pero no solo se habla de eso en Los enamoramientos, tambien es un libro sobre la impunidad, y sobre la horrible fuerza de los hechos; sobre la inconveniencia de que los muertos puedan volver . ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The last time I saw Miguel Desvern or Deverne was also the last time he saw his wife, Luisa. This was not only strange, but perhaps also unfair, since she was just that, his wife, and I was just a stranger… Los enamoramientos, Marias’ latest work, is a reflection on the state of infatuation, considered as something positive and even redeeming to the extent of justifying all: the most noble and selfless actions but also the largest excess and abuses. It is also a novel on the impossibility of ever knowing the truth, not even our own.
