Pasiones pasadas is Javier Marías' first book of articles, where it is appreciated that the author approaches reality in a similar way to fiction. The book compiles a series of articles in which Marías reflects on cities, close characters, the current image of Spain, the difficulty of insulting, literary forgeries and vices of critics. In these pieces, the author offers life, opinions, narrations and digressions, always with a look capable of seeing and telling the most difficult thing, "what does not happen”.
