A novel is composed of as many intra-stories and therefore of potential ramifications as characters inhabit it. Well you know Javier Marías, determined to win back a Thomas Nevinson of that nebula of potential protagonists at the mercy of the narrator's imagination. And so about Berta Island aim for serial or at least second chance to close pending issues.

When things happen like this, from the unexpected strength of a new protagonist (about whom the writer himself seems to discover unsuspected nuances), the new story awakens the fascination of the writer himself. A fascination translated into an intense, powerful story, decisive in the plot and resolutive in the most transcendental notion that also connects with its part of non-fiction ...

"I I educated to the ancient, and You are never i thought i they went to order a day that will kill A woman. At women I don't know touch, they are not hit, they are not ago hurt«

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 underside of "You will not kill." If those men maybe should have shot him Fuehrer, Is it possible to do it against someone else? As the narrator of Thomas Nevinson, "You can see that killing is not so extreme or so difficult and unfair if you know who."

Tomás Nevinson, Berta Isla's husband, falls into the temptation to return to the Secret Services after having been away, and is proposed to go to a northwestern city to identify a person, half Spanish and half Northern Irish, who participated in attacks by the IRA and ETA ten years ago. We are in 1997. The order bears the stamp of his ambiguous ex-boss Bertram Tupra, who, through a deception, had already conditioned his previous life.

The novel, beyond its plot, is a deep reflection on the limits of what can be done, on the stain that avoidance of the greater evil almost always brings and on the difficulty of determining what that evil is. Against the background of historical episodes of terrorism, Tomás Nevinson is also the story of what happens to someone who has already had everything happened and to whom, apparently, nothing else could happen. But, while they do not finish, every day they arrive ...
