Your Face Tomorrow Volume 2 - Dance and Dream

The second volume of master Spanish writer Javier Marias's masterpiece Tomorrow's Face, Dance and Dream, is as intense and impressive as the first. Jaime Deza, the "human interpreter or interpreter" we met in the first volume, continues to observe what is happening around him and analyze it by connecting it to past events while continuing his duty in the British Secret Service. Witnessing his mysterious superior Tupra, whose position and capabilities he cannot fully estimate, resort to violence one night leads Deza to think about what happened in his own country, Spain, during the Civil War. How do ordinary people, who are not normally inclined to violence but can do terrible things under extraordinary circumstances, continue their lives afterwards? This is the question Deza keeps coming back to - the question we all inevitably ask when we look at history.
However, it would be unfair to reduce The Dance and the Dream to a kind of "reckoning with the past" or an effort to understand the "dark" side of man, his potential for violence. Because while Marias portrays the human mind and psychology in all its complexity and richness, he also continues to feed the reader's curiosity and escalate this exciting anticipation by intensifying the curtain of mystery surrounding the events revolving around the Secret Service.
