Yet day by day I sat at my desk in utter solitude and peace with nothing to disturb my quiet but the call of the gulls and the sound of the Atlantic breaking eternally on the rocks below my window. It seemed all but incredible that these two aspects of life could exist side by side - the surface so beautiful the under side so terrible. But is not this a picture of life itself and more especially of man The surface the facade of civilization looks so smooth and fair; yet beneath the cultured mask of consciousness what savage impulses what ruthless monsters of the deep await a chance to seize the mastery and despoil the world!" - from preface.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: When Javier Marias wrote All Souls his 'Oxford novel' he was unprepared for the way in which reality would begin invade his fiction. Real people mistook themselves for his fictional characters readers confused him with his narrator and a minor English poet whom he mentioned in passing assumed such a large presence in his life that Marias ended up inheriting his Caribbean kingdom Redonda. In Dark Back of Time Marias uses the unsettling effects of All Souls on his life to begin an extraordinary meditation on the transience chance and fragility of life and the way in which reality so easily blurs into fiction. Perhaps the minor poet of the 1930s John Gawsworth or the ill-fated novelist Wilfrid Ewart are not as forgotten as Marias thought they were. After all no one dies without leaving a small trace behind. But how do we know these traces tell us the reality of a person And what of the small child who dies like Marias's brother at the age of three and lives on only in the memory of his parents themselves mortal- This brilliantly digressive constantly surprising funny book moves seamlessly from virtuoso storytelling to intimate autobiography from the grand movements of history - the battlefields of the Somme Spain under Franco - to the strange patterns of small lives. In doing so it shows us how everything is linked or not and how the writer is both a keeper of memories and himself destined to be lost in the dark back of time.Publisher.
