  • "Ein junger Spanier kommt als Gastdozent nach Oxford und macht die Erfahrung, wie einsam man sich in einer geschlossenen Gesellschaft fühlen kann. Um emotional nicht zu verhungern, beginnt er eine Affäre mit der verheirateten Dozentin Clare. Doch erst in ihrer letzten gemeinsamen Nacht enthüllt sie ihr Geheimnis."
  • "Oxford, ville d'intrigues et de virtuosités ambiguës, "ville statique conservée dans le sirop", vue par un héros, professeur de littérature espagnole, qui y séjourne deux ans. Ironique, disgressif, mélancolique. Dans la tradition de Laurence Sterne."
  • "Door de vroegtijdige dood van zijn vriend herleven de herinneringen van een Madrileen aan zijn gastdocentschap in Oxford drie jaar geleden."

  • "Autobiografisch getint relaas van het verblijf van een Spaanse letterkundige in een college in Oxford."
  • "By one of the most important voices in contemporary world literature, a darkly comic novel about that most British of institutions, Oxford University. In All Souls, a visiting Spanish lecturer, viewing Oxford through a prismatic detachment, is alternately amused, puzzled, delighted, and disgusted by its vagaries of human vanity. A bit lonely, not always able to see his charming but very married mistress, he casts about for activity; he barely has to teach. Yet so much goes into simply "being" at Oxford: friendship, opinion-mongering, one-upmanship, finicky exchanges of favors, gossip, adultery, book-collecting, back-patting, backstabbing. Marias demonstrates a sweet tooth for eccentricity in this sly campus novel and love story."
  • "Hindi translation of "Todas las almas". A novel based on the author's own experience as a professor at Oxford University."
  • "At High Table in an Oxford college, the pretty young tutor Clare Bayes attracted all eyes, not least to her fetching decollettage. No one's eyes were sharper, however, than those of the visiting Spanish lecturer, invited as a guest on this occasion. Eventually the two young people were lovers, unbeknown to Clare's husband. And if the Spaniard was at pains to cover their tracks, his beloved left evidence of adultery with gay abandon - and all this in a university that was a forcing house of gossip and intrigue, a place where "at every word a reputation dies.""
  • "The narrator came to teach Spanish literature in college, Oxford, but he finds himself confused and baffled by the internal conflict between different cultures and different characters."
