Items related to The Man of Feeling
A story of love and memory.
On a train journey from Paris to Madrid a young opera singer becomes fascinated by those in his compartment: a middle-aged businessman, his alluring wife and their male traveling companion. Soon his life of constant travel, luxury hotels, rehearsal and performance will become entangled with these three people, and the singer will find himself fatefully consumed by Natalia's beauty. The Man of Feeling is the haunting story of the birth and death of a passion, told in retrospect. Intricately interweaving desire and memory, it explores the nature of love, and asks whether we can ever truly recall something that no longer exists.

Book Description Condition: Bueno. Javier Mar-as's prize-winning novel describes the birth and death of a passion. The narrator, a tenor known as "the Lion of Naples", recalls a moment of his life when, during a series of performances of Verdi's Othello in Madrid, he first encountered Manur, a Flemish banker, a man who he had noticed in a train, who was accompanied by his wife, Natalia, and his secretary, Dato. The emotional ties that link this little group, into the which the narrator proceeds to insinuate himself, form the background to this highly sophisticated, sometimes perverse, comedy of manners.
