About the Book

«Matar no es tan extremo ni tan difícil e injusto si se sabe a quién.»

Tras la aclamada Berta Isla, llega la nueva y esperada novela de Javier Marías. Una intriga absorbente que explora el envés del «No matarás».

«Yo fui educado a la antigua, y nunca creí que me fueran a ordenar un día que matara a una mujer. A las mujeres no se las toca, no se les pega, no se les hace daño#»

Dos hombres, uno en la ficción y otro en la realidad, tuvieron la oportunidad de matar a Hitler antes de que éste desencadenara la Segunda Guerra Mundial. A partir de este hecho, Javier Marías explora el envés del «No matarás». Si esos hombres quizá debieron disparar contra el Führer, ¿cabe la posibilidad de hacerlo contra alguien más? Como dice el narrador de Tomás Nevinson, «ya se ve que matar no es tan extremo ni tan difícil e injusto si se sabe a quién».

Tomás Nevinson, marido de Berta Isla, cae en la tentación de volver a los Servicios Secretos tras haber estado fuera, y se le propone ir a una ciudad del noroeste para identificar a una persona, medio española y medio norirlandesa, que participó en atentados del IRA y de ETA diez años atrás. Estamos en 1997. El encargo lleva el sello de su ambiguo ex-jefe Bertram Tupra, que ya, mediante un engaño, había condicionado su vida anterior.

La novela, más allá de su trama, es una profunda reflexión sobre los límites de lo que se puede hacer, sobre la mancha que casi siempre trae la evitación del mal mayor y sobre la dificultad de determinar cuál es ese mal. Con el trasfondo de episodios históricos de terrorismo, Tomás Nevinson es también la historia de qué le sucede a quien ya le había sucedido todo y a quien, aparentemente, nada más podía ocurrir. Pero, mientras no terminan, todos los días llegan#

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The final novel from Spain's most acclaimed writer, a novel about a charismatic half-Spanish, half-English man who is recruited by British intelligence

"Javier Marías's best work." --El País

After his acclaimed Berta Isla, comes Javier Marías' long-awaited new novel. It is a mesmerizing intrigue that explores the underside of "Thou shalt not kill."

Two men, one in fiction and one in reality, had the opportunity to kill Hitler before he unleashed World War II. Based on this fact, Javier Marías explores the basis of "You shalt not kill." As its narrator put it, "you can see that killing is not so extreme or so difficult and unfair depending on who your target is."

Tomas Nevinson, Berta Isla's husband, falls into the temptation of returning to the Secret Services. In 1997, after having been away for a while, he was assigned to go to a northwestern city in search of a suspect who participated in attacks made by the IRA and ETA ten years before.

The novel is a deep reflection on the limits and restraints of what can be done, on the stain that comes with avoiding the greatest evil, and on the struggle of determining what that evil is. Against the background of historical terrorist attacks, Tomas Nevinson is also the story of what happens to someone who has already had everything happen to him, and to whom, apparently, nothing else could happen.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
