About this book

"A story of love and memory. On a train journey from Paris to Madrid a young opera singer becomes fascinated by those in his compartment: a middle-aged businessman, his alluring wife and their male traveling companion. Soon his life of constant travel, luxury hotels, rehearsal and performance will become entangled with these three people, and the singer will find himself fatefully consumed by Natalia's beauty. The Man of Feeling is the haunting story of the birth and death of a passion, told in retrospect. Intricately interweaving desire and memory, it explores the nature of love, and asks whether we can ever truly recall something that no longer exists"-- "On a train journey from Paris to Madrid a young opera singer becomes fascinated by those in his compartment: a middle-aged businessman, his alluring wife and their male traveling companion.

About Unknown Author

Javier Marías Franco (Madrid, 20 de septiembre de 1951-Madrid, 11 de septiembre de 2022) fue un escritor, traductor y editor español, miembro de número de la Real Academia Española desde 2008 hasta su fallecimiento. Su obra *Corazón tan blanco* (1992), en la que se mezclan novela y ensayo, tuvo un gran éxito tanto de público como de crítica, fue traducida a decenas de lenguas, se convirtió en uno de los puntos de referencia del denominado hibridismo genérico, y supuso su consagración como escritor. Su siguiente novela, *Mañana en la batalla piensa en mí* (1994), recibió importantes premios en Europa y América, incluyendo el Premio Rómulo Gallegos (la primera vez que este galardón se otorgó a un español) y el Premio Fastenrath, de la Real Academia Española. ---------- Javier Marías Franco (Madrid, September 20, 1951 - Madrid, September 11, 2022) was a Spanish writer, translator, and editor, a full member of the Royal Spanish Academy from 2008 until his death.

His next novel, *Mañana en la batalla piensa en mí* (1994), received important awards in Europe and America, including the Rómulo Gallegos Prize (the first time this award was given to a Spaniard) and the Fastenrath Prize from the Royal Spanish Academy.
