Book Description

January 1, 2009
"I wish nobody ever requested anything from me, no advice, no favors, or suggestions". Thus begins Baile y sueño, the second volume of Marías' Tu rostro mañana, and most likely the pinnacle of his works. Here we continue the story started in Fiebre y lanza, of Jaime or Jacobo or Jacques Deza, a Spaniard belonging to a nameless group, employee of the MI6 or British Secret Service, whose task and "gift" is to see what people will do in the future, or to know today how their faces will look tomorrow.

Description in Spanish: Ojalá nunca nadie nos pidiera nada, ni casi nos preguntara, ningún consejo ni favor ni préstamo, ni el de la atención siquiera... Ojalá nadie se nos acercara a decirnos ¿Por favor?, u ¿Oye, tú sabes?, ¿Oye, tú podrías decirme?, ¿Oye, es que quiero pedirte: una recomendación, un dato, un parecer, una mano, dinero, una intercesión, o consuelo, una gracia, que me guardes este secreto o que cambies por mí y seas otro, o que por mí traiciones y mientas o calles y así me salves?.»

Así comienza Baile y sueño, el segundo y penúltimo volumen de Tu rostro mañana, probablemente la obra cumbre novelística de Javier Marías. En él se nos sigue contando la historia, iniciada en Fiebre y lanza, de Jaime o Jacobo o Jacques Deza, español al servicio de un grupo sin nombre, dependiente del MI6 o Servicio Secreto británico, cuya tarea y «don» es ver lo que la gente hará en el futuro, o conocer hoy cómo serán sus rostros mañana.
