Boards quarter-bound in publisher's green cloth and have mild shelving wear along extremities, mild bumping to fore corners, and mild sun-bleaching along cloth head and tail edges; spine mildly cocked. Text block head edge has mild age-toning. Signed flat on title page by Javier Marías. CM Consignment. Shelved Room C. DARK BACK OF TIME is Javier Marías' response to the reception of his 1992 novel ALL SOULS. ALL SOULS is arguably semi-autobiographical: it follows a professor of translation working a stint at Oxford who finds himself surrounded by lost souls in academia, much like Marías once did in real life. The souls the novel was inspired by--professors, bookshop owners, and others of that academic ilk--recognized themselves and ardently maintain that Marías' work was roman á clef. DARK BACK OF TIME begins by exploring the bizarre effect of Marías' experience publishing ALL SOULS and thus, he's deemed the former a "false novel," intertwining autobiography and fiction to tell a non-linear and mysterious tale evocative of his masterful Argentine forefather, Jorge Luis Borges. Javier Marías (1951-2022) remains a star in the canon of contemporary Spanish literature whose complex, philosophical narratives continue to influence the fiction and mystery genres while provoking questions about the thin and often blurred line between fiction and reality. 1401892.

JW consignment. Shelved case 8. 'His Dark Materials' was originally published as a 3-volume trilogy consisting of 'Northern Lights' 'The Subtle Knife' and 'The Amber Spyglass', and first published from 1995-2000. The series itself, while marketed as a young-adult series, was written with no particular audience in mind, with elements of fantasy and science-fiction coming together in a tale which explores physics, philosophy, and theology. Outside of the pages, the series is known for Philip Pullman's statement that it is meant to commend humanity for what the poet John Milton coined "original sin" in his work 'Paradise Lost'. This and references to the Catholic church among other religious institutions has earned the series some controversy for "criticizing religion". "Lyra's Oxford" and "Once Upon a Time in the North" are both novellas meant to expand on the world of "His Dark Materials". "Lyra's Oxford" takes place two years after "The Amber Spyglass", when Lyra is 15 years old, and contains a variety of ephemera meant to be from the world. "Once Upon a Time in the North" is a prequel book written to show the first meeting between Iorek Byrnison and Lee Scoresby, two major characters and companions of Lyra throughout the original trilogy. Both novellas received glowing reviews upon release, and have since become core parts of the overall series. 1384525. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.
