Overview
Uno de los mejores libros en español de los últimos 25 años según Babelia.
¿Por qué regresa Urania Cabral a la isla que juró no volver a pisar?
¿Por qué sigue vacía y llena de miedo desde los catorce años?
¿Por qué no ha tenido un solo amor?
En La Fiesta del Chivo (2000) asistimos a un doble retorno. Mientras Urania visita a su padre en Santo Domingo, volvemos a 1961, cuando la capital dominicana aún se llamaba Ciudad Trujillo. Allí un hombre que no suda tiraniza a tres millones de personas sin saber que se gesta una maquiavélica transición a la democracia
Con un ritmo y una precisión difícilmente superables, este peruano universal muestra que la política puede consistir en abrirse camino entre cadáveres, y que un ser inocente puede convertirse en un regalo truculento.
Mejor novela española del siglo XXI según los expertos consultados por el diario ABC.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Mario Vargas Llosa, Nobel Prize in Literature and Príncipe de Asturias Prize in Literature, recounts the end of an era by giving voice to the implacable and impeccable General Trujillo, nicknamed the Goat, and to the calm and able Doctor Balaguer (sempiternal president of Dominican Republic.)
One of the best books in Spanish in the last 25 years, according to Babelia.
Why does Urania Cabral return to the island she swore she’d never set foot on again?
Why has she felt empty and afraid since she turned fourteen?
Why has she never been in love?
In The Feast of the Goat (2000) we witness a double return. While Urania visits her father in Santo Domingo, we go back to 1961, when the Dominican capital was still called Ciudad Trujillo. There, a man who doesn’t break a sweat tyrannizes three million people unaware that a Machiavellian transition to democracy is brewing.
With rhythm and almost unsurmountable precision, this universal Peruvian shows us that politics can comprise making way among dead bodies, and an innocent may become a gruesome gift.
The best novel in the Spanish language in the XXI century, according to experts consulted by the newspaper ABC.
