Description
Set against a backdrop of brutality, Poison, Shadow and Farewell is the final installment in Javier Marías' gripping spy trilogy. Jacques Deza, a secret intelligence agent, is forced to confront the darker aspects of human nature through a collection of incriminating videotapes documenting private lives and horrific acts.
The scenes depicted on these tapes have a profound impact on Deza, contaminating everything good within him, yet leaving him powerless to resist their influence. As he navigates this treacherous world, Marías raises fundamental questions about the nature of violence and its place in our society.
