Javier Marías 
Your Face Tomorrow: Fever and Spear (Vol. 1) [EPUB ebook] 

A daring masterwork by Javier Marias: ‘Spain’s most subtle and gifted writer.’ (The Boston Globe)

Part spy novel, part romance, part Henry James,
Your Face Tomorrow is a wholly remarkable display of the immense gifts of Javier Marias. With
Fever and Spear, Volume One of his unfolding novel
Your Face Tomorrow, he returns us to the rarified world of Oxford (the delightful setting of
All Souls and
Dark Back of Time), while introducing us to territory entirely new–espionage.
Our hero, Jaime Deza, separated from his wife in Madrid, is a bit adrift in London until his old friend Sir Peter Wheeler—retired Oxford don and semi-retired master spy—recruits him for a new career in British Intelligence. Deza possesses a rare gift for seeing behind the masks people wear. He is soon observing interviews conducted by Her Majesty’s secret service: variously shady international businessmen one day, would-be coup leaders the next. Seductively, this metaphysical thriller explores past, present, and future in the ever-more-perilous 21st century. This compelling and enigmatic tour de force from one of Europe’s greatest writers continues with Volume Two,
Dance and Dream.
