Tras haber cautivado a sus lectores a lo largo de los \u00faltimos treinta a\u00f1os con relatos psicol\u00f3gicos en torno a los aspectos m\u00e1s fundamentales de la condici\u00f3n humana, como la b\u00fasqueda del amor y la necesidad de forjar una identidad fija, Javier Mar\u00edas nos proporciona con Ma\u00f1ana en la batalla, piensa en m\u00ed,<\/em> una perspectiva sobre nuestro lado oscuro, concretamente sobre nuestra tendencia a defender por encima de todo nuestros propios intereses. En esta novela, el autor indaga sobre la repercusi\u00f3n de las decisiones que tomamos para cambiar el rumbo de nuestra vida y sobre la imposibilidad de poder anticipar las consecuencias que pueden generar. De esta manera, Mar\u00edas quiere concienciar a los lectores sobre el hecho de que nunca tendremos certeza sobre nuestro futuro y que todos debemos enfrentarnos a las consecuencias imprevistas de ciertas elecciones a lo largo de nuestras vidas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Como punto de partida, la novela gira en torno a las acciones del protagonista, V\u00edctor Franc\u00e9s, quien al principio de la novela encuentra muerta a una mujer casada tras haber sido invitado a su casa para cenar y pasar la noche juntos. La elecci\u00f3n por parte del protagonista de acostarse con Marta y cometer adulterio contra su propia esposa, obliga a V\u00edctor a tomar decisiones r\u00e1pidas que afectar\u00e1n a sus futuras perspectivas, tanto personales como profesionales. La novela se centra prioritariamente en las decisiones a las que se enfrenta el protagonista tras el descubrimiento del cad\u00e1ver de Marta, lo que nos demuestra que la decisi\u00f3n de cometer un determinado (la infidelidad) genera una serie consecuencias. En este sentido, Javier Mar\u00edas nos recuerda que hemos de ser conscientes de los frutos indeseados que pueden tener nuestras decisiones m\u00e1s arriesgadas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adem\u00e1s de se\u00f1alar la capacidad de una sola decisi\u00f3n de alterar profundamente nuestras vidas, Mar\u00edas se centra tambi\u00e9n en c\u00f3mo esta nueva situaci\u00f3n nos obliga a tomar otras decisiones que llegar\u00e1n a condicionar el rumbo de nuestro destino.  En esta novela, el autor nos invita a sumergirnos en la situaci\u00f3n que tiene entre manos nuestro protagonista y las razones que le llevan a tomar decisiones respecto a la decisi\u00f3n de ocultar el hecho o decir la verdad de lo ocurrido. En el caso de V\u00edctor Franc\u00e9s, vemos c\u00f3mo opta por el ocultamiento en lugar de compartir su propia experiencia de aquella noche fat\u00eddica. En lugar de intentar resolver la situaci\u00f3n y recuperar un poco de control sobre su vida,V\u00edctor permanecer\u00e1 atormentado por su propia inacci\u00f3n y vivir\u00e1 obsesionado por lo que ocurri\u00f3 esa noche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lo largo del relato, nos vamos concienciando de que el protagonista nunca podr\u00e1 alejarse totalmente de las consecuencias de actuar de una forma poco \u00e9tica tras la muerte de Marta. Como resultado de su propia inmovilidad, V\u00edctor se da cuenta de que no puede aguantar m\u00e1s la culpa que le atormenta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aunque las consecuencias de nuestras acciones son generalmente imprevisibles, Mar\u00edas quiere recordarnos que a\u00fan podemos ejercer cierto control sobre nuestra reacci\u00f3n frente a las exigencias de una situaci\u00f3n. A un nivel profundo, esta novela destaca tanto el papel que juega el azar a lo largo de todas nuestras vidas como la importancia de reflexionar sobre c\u00f3mo respondemos ante las dificultades inesperadas a las que nos enfrentamos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having captivated his readers over the course of the last thirty years with psychological tales focusing on the most fundamental aspects of the human condition, such as our search or love or our need to forge a fixed identity, in Ma<\/em>\u00f1ana en la batalla, piensa en m\u00ed,<\/em> Javier Mar\u00edas offers us a perspective on one of the darked aspects of human beings, specifically our tendency to place our own self-interests over the common good. Throughout this novel, Mar\u00edas explores the ability of our decisions to change the course of our lives and the sheer impossibility of foreseeing the consequences of our actions. To this effect, the novel makes its readers aware that we can never be fully certain of the course of our lives and that we all must confront the unforeseen consequences of decisions that we take over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin, the novel revolves around the actions of the protagonist, V\u00edctor Franc\u00e9s, after he finds a woman dead in her bed having been invited to her house to dine and spend the night together. This decision on V\u00edctor\u2019s part to sleep with Marta, and thereby commit adultery, forces him to take several quick decisions which will affect both his personal and professional prospects into the future. Although the novel focuses principally on the unexpected dilemmas that V\u00edctor faces after discovering Marta\u2019s dead body, there is no doubting that it only highlights how this act of adultery was always going to have unfavourable consequences for the protagonist. In this sense, Mar\u00edas firstly reminds us that we ought to be aware of the unwanted consequences that arise from our riskiest decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as reminding us of the ability of one decisions to profoundly alter our lives, Mar\u00edas also highlights how we are then forced to make a series of follow-up decisions that can often come to determine the course of our futures. In this novel, we are invited to immerse ourselves in the decision-making processes of V\u00edctor as he struggles with whether or not to open up about what happened to Marta. In the case of V\u00edctor, we see how he ultimately decides to conceal the events of that fateful night instead of attempting to overcome his trauma through sharing his experiences. Instead of trying to resolve the situation and recover control over his affairs, V\u00edctor will remain tormented by his own inaction and will continue to obsess over what happened on that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the remainder of the novel, we gradually become aware of V\u00edctor\u2019s inability to distance himself completely from the consequences of his refusal to act appropriately in the wake of Marta\u2019s death. As a result of his inaction in the face of the new situation in which he found himself, V\u00edctor realises that he can no longer tolerate the shame that torments him. Although the consequences of our actions are generally unpredictable, Mar\u00edas wishes to remind us that we can retain certain control over the decisions we take amidst a difficult situation. At a fundamental level, this novel highlights both the role of this unpredictability throughout our lives as well as the importance of reflecting on how we respond to difficult situations that we must face up to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
