Award-winning Spanish author Javier Marias passed away on Sunday at the age of 70, according to his publisher Alfaguara.
Marias, who had been battling pneumonia for a month, wrote 16 books, including the “Your Face Tomorrow” trilogy, which was published from 2002 to 2007.
Pedro Sanchez, the prime minister of Spain, tweeted, “A terrible day for Spanish letters.” One of the greatest writers of the modern era, Javier Marias, leaves us.
According to Alfaguara’s website, his books have been published in 56 countries and have sold about 9 million copies in 46 different languages.
Marias, a columnist and translator for Spain’s El Pais newspaper, won several honours for his work. He was honoured as an International Writer to the Royal Society of Literature in Britain last year.
