El hombre sentimental, escrita con un ritmo que se acelera progresivamente hasta un inesperado desenlace, es el libro que, como señaló Juan Benet, dio inicio a una etapa nueva y más íntima en la obra de Javier Marías.«El hombre sentimental es una historia de amor en la que el amor no se ve ni se vive, sino que se anuncia y recuerda», dice Javier Marías en su epílogo. Y se pregunta: «¿Puede esto ocurrir?». Un famoso tenor, conocido como el León de Nápoles, es el encargado de contar esa historia sucedida cuatro años atrás, durante una visita a Madrid para ensayar el Otello de Verdi. Los personajes son la misteriosa y melancólica Natalia Manur; su marido, el banquero Manur, y el imperturbable y obsequioso señor Dato, acompañante de profesión. A su alrededor se mueven otros secundarios: una prostituta apresurada, una vieja gloria de la escena operística, un minucioso viudo, un antiguo amor. Es esta una novela sobre pasiones llevadas hasta las últimas consecuencias, que en los tiempos que corren sólo son verdaderamente últimas para el hombre sentimental, que parece ser el artista o el pensador, pero que tal vez sea, por el contrario, el hombre de negocios, el hombre de acción. En este libro, que contiene una declaración de amor gravemente encendida, el autor no ha renunciado a la ironía, a la leve burla implícita de sus héroes, a los que no puede evitar tomarse muy en serio y algo a broma al mismo tiempo, mientras el ritmo se acelera progresivamente hasta un inesperado desenlace. El hombre sentimental fue galardonada en 2000 con el Premio Internazionale Ennio Flaiano de Novela. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Marías's riveting novel about an opera singer and an extramarital affair.
Glinting like a moonstone with layers of emotion, The Man of Feeling is a sleek and strange tale of cosmopolitan love. An affair between a married woman and a young man just becoming an opera star (curiously helped along by the husband's factotum) meets with adamant resistance from the implacable husband. Narrated by the young opera singer, the novel opens as he recalls traveling on a train from Milan to Venice, silently absorbed for hours by the woman asleep opposite his seat. In the measured tones of memory, The Man of Feeling revolves on the poles of anticipation and recollection. The peculiar rarified life lived in the world's luxury hotels, a life of rehearsal and performance, the constant travel and ghost-like detachment of our protagonist adds a deeper tone to the novel's weave of desire and detachment, of consideration and reconsideration: its epigraph cites William Hazlitt: "I think myself into love, /And I dream myself out of it." As Marías remarks in a brief afterword, this is a love story "in which love is neither seen nor experienced, but announced and remembered." Can love be recalled truly when it no longer exists? That twist will continue to revolve in the reader's mind, conjuring up in its disembodied way Henry James' The Turn of the Screw. Beautifully translated into English for the first time by Margaret Jull Costa, this fascinating and eerie early novel by Javier Marías bears out his reputation for the "dazzling" (TLS) and "startling" (The New York Times).

Perfect size, high quality
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Black (Metal Silvered)
I had a previous catch all tray that I bought on amazon, it used buttons on the 4 corners to turn a flat cardboard into a tray. Over time, the catch all tray got filled up, not just with a wallet, keys and eyeglasses but eventually business cards and other knick knacks. With all the items inside the tray, sometimes the buttons would start to pop out. It wasn't awful, more of an annoyance. But it was time for me to find a more durable tray. I looked on amazon and added 6 different trays that had "potential" into my shopping cart. Then I carefully evaluated each one and deleted them out of my cart until there was only one left. Some had multiple compartments. Some were larger than this one. I felt the ones with compartments would limit my ability to put the things I want in there. Also, I didn't want it so big that it took up too much desk space. Ultimately, I felt this was the perfect size. I'm extremely happy with it, the quality is really nice and it looks and feels durable. No more loose buttons and spilled knick knacks.

Keeps clutter away
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Black (Metal Silvered)
This works great to corral all my notes I write on post its or small notes. Keeping them hidden from the desk top b/c or the depth but still visible to me. Much better than keeping on the plotter. Looks great in quality .

Attractive, Simple, And Well-Made
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Orange (Metal Glided)
I use this as a "catchall". A place to stash things like my wallet and keys when I enter the door, so that I don't use them (I had been prone to that!). It serves it's purpose well. It's both sturdy and attractive, and a good size for a "catchall". Recommended for those like me who need such things.
