Description in Spanish: «Uno no lo desea, pero prefiere siempre que muera el que está a su lado, en una misión o una batalla, en una escuadrilla aérea o bajo un bombardeo o en la trinchera cuando las habÃa, en un asalto callejero o en un atraco a una tienda o en un secuestro de turistas, en un terremoto, una explosión, un atentado, un incendio, da lo mismo: el compañero, el hermano, el padre o incluso el hijo, aunque sea niño. Y también la amada, también la amada, antes que uno mismo.» Asà arranca Veneno y sombra y adiós, el tercer y último volumen de Tu rostro mañana, la grandiosa novela de Javier MarÃas que, por fin completa, y como ya ha anticipado la crÃtica extranjera, se revela como una de las cumbres literarias de nuestro tiempo. El narrador y protagonista, Jacques o Jaime o Jacobo Deza, acaba por conocer aquà los inesperados rostros de quienes lo rodean y también el suyo propio, y descubre que, bajo el mundo más o menos apaciguado en que vivimos los occidentales, siempre late una necesidad de traición y violencia que se nos inocula como un veneno.
