Javier Marías bibliography
.jpg)
Javier Marías (1951 – 2022) was a Spanish novelist, translator and columnist. The son of the philosopher Julián Marías and the writer and translator Dolores Franco Manera, he published his first novel, Los dominios del lobo, by the age of 19.[1][2] He went on to publish fourteen more novels, including A Heart So White (1992) and Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me.[1] In the 1970s, he began to write columns,[3] which featured in both El País[4] and also the newspapers belonging to Vocento, although he later claimed that he had fallen victim to censorship and abandoned the latter.[5] The columns were later assembled into several books.[4] He also translated several works into Spanish, including novels, tales and poems, such as The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman by Laurence Sterne and some poems by Vladimir Nabokov.[1][4] In Written Lives, he collected biographical sketches of famous literary figures, amongst whom were Djuna Barnes, Joseph Conrad, Arthur Conan Doyle and Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa.[1] His books, translated from Spanish into 45 languages, sold 8 million copies all over the world.[4] Marías was elected as an academic by the Real Academia Española and took up the R seat from 2008 until his death in 2022.[6]
