Una nueva y estimulante colecci n de textos personales y cr ticos de Javier Mar as, aclamado autor de Los enamoramientos y Coraz n tan blanco, que abarcan m s de veinte a os de su trabajo como escritor.

Javier Mar as es un incansable examinador del mundo que nos rodea: ensayista, novelista, traductor, lector voraz, refutador implacable de lo pretencioso y erudito entusiasta. Es capaz de descubrir lo que muchos de nosotros no notamos o nunca hemos podido expresar con palabras, y sigue observando cuando la mayor a hemos dejado de hacerlo. Esta nueva colecci n de ensayos - entre literarios, filos ficos y autobiogr ficos-- viaja desde los decadentes canales de Venecia hasta los amplios horizontes del Salvaje Oeste, y Mar as captura cada nuevo panorama con ingenio y una agudeza afilada. Explora, con su caracter stico entusiasmo, temas que van del f tbol al cine cl sico, de las historietas y los soldaditos de plomo a la mortalidad y la memoria, de La ciudad m s presumida a Por qu casi nadie es de fiar, haciendo brillante e inimitablemente suyo cada uno de ellos. Incisiva e ir nica, subversiva y penetrante, Entre eternidades es una colecci n de deslumbrante curiosidad intelectual que ofrece una amplia visi n de la vasta mente del hombre de quien tan a menudo se dice que es el mejor escritor espa ol vivo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A new, exhilarating collection of critical and personal writings--spanning more than twenty years of work--from the internationally renowned author of The Infatuations and A Heart So White.

Javier Mar as is a tireless examiner of the world around us: essayist, novelist, translator, voracious reader, enthusiastic debunker of pretension, and vigorous polymath. He is able to discover what many of us fail to notice or have never put into words, and he keeps looking long after most of us have turned away. This new collection of essays--by turns literary, philosophical, and autobiographical--journeys from the crumbling canals of Venice to the wide horizons of the Wild West, and Mar as captures each new vista with razor-sharp acuity and wit. He explores, with characteristic relish, subjects ranging from soccer to classic cinema, from comic books and toy soldiers to mortality and memory, from The Most Conceited of Cities to Why Almost No One Can Be Trusted, making each brilliantly and inimitably his own. Trenchant and wry, subversive and penetrating, Between Eternities is a collection of dazzling intellectual curiosity, offering a window into the expansive mind of the man so often said to be Spain's greatest living writer.
