El nuevo libro de artículos de Javier Marías

Una mirada incómoda, certera y brillante sobre la sociedad de hoy

Este volumen reúne los noventa y cinco artículos publicados por Javier Marías en el suplemento dominical El País Semanal entre el 3 de febrero de 2019 y el 24 de enero de 2021.
«Han caducado los tiempos en que la gente se tomaba en serio la promesa hecha, la palabra dada, que todavía los niños de mi infancia llamaban "palabra de honor". Somos una sociedad "desenfadada" y además lo tenemos a gala (bueno, en todo lo demás muy enfadada)», dice Javier Marías en uno de los artículos de este libro.

En una época en la que la realidad se muestra insistente, repetitiva y tozuda, el autor invita a sus lectores, en cada una de las piezas recogidas en ¿Será buena persona el cocinero?, a detenerse y reflexionar libremente, sin atender a demagogias ni manipulaciones, sobre los más diversos aspectos del tiempo presente. Y lo hace como lo ha hecho siempre: con valentía, sin concesiones, y con un estilo impecable y un envidiable sentido del humor.

La sociedad actual, olvidadiza y pretendidamente virtuosa, lidia con una opinión pública que se erige como juez intransigente e injusto de todo y todos los que se alejan de los cánones de conducta impuestos en los últimos años. Por ello, defiende el autor, se hace más necesario que nunca mantener un pensamiento crítico. «Tal vez lo malo no sea nunca tanto lo que nos pasa, cuanto lo que nos hacen creer que nos pasa», recuerda que escribió en una ocasión su padre, Julián Marías. Y añade: «Porque lo segundo hoy suena muy grave, y lo primero no lo es tanto, sólo un poco, y a ratos».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A new book of articles by renowned author Javier Marías.

An uncomfortable, yet accurate, and brilliant look at today's society.

This volume compiles the ninety-five articles published by Javier Marías in the Sunday supplement El País Semanal between February 3, 2019, and January 24, 2021.

"Those times when people took seriously any promise they made, or when they gave their word, which in my childhood we called it "word of honor," are long gone. We are a "carefree" society, and we love to put it on display (well, in everything else we are very rigid)", says Javier Marías in one of the articles in this book.

At a time when reality is demanding, repetitive, and stubborn, the author invites his readers, in each of these articles, to stop and reflect freely, without paying attention to demagoguery or manipulations, on the most diverse aspects of these current times. And he does it as he has always done: bravely, without compromise, with impeccable style, and with an enviable sense of humor.

Today's society, forgetful and supposedly righteous, deals with a public opinion that stands as an unyielding and unfair judge of everything and everyone who deviates from the rules of conduct imposed in recent years. For this reason, the author defends that it is more important than ever to uphold and sustain critical thinking. "Perhaps the bad thing isn't so much what happens to us, as what they make us believe happens to us," he recalls that his father, Julián Marías, once wrote.

Lil boy's favorite ball
Style: Recharges, Size: Medium
The squeak gets my little boy every time. The glow factor is under par. I mainly get it because he also enjoys the brighter colors. All of the others be trying to get his ball. Good product just wish it would glow better because our park times are right around sunset.

The glow doesn’t last long, not super bright.
Style: Recharges, Size: Medium
I charge my glow in the dark balls with a black light flashlight, this one was not very bright, and it did not hold the charge very long. Also, with it being green, it was hard for my dog to find in the grass.
