Overview

Un retrato íntimo y revelador de Mario Vargas Llosa.

Alonso Cueto nos guía en este ensayo a través de las obsesiones, los dilemas y las pasiones que definieron la obra de Mario Vargas Llosa, una de las más influyentes de la literatura contemporánea. A lo largo del libro, con el rigor de un estudio literario y la cercanía de quien conocía al autor desde la infancia, Cueto ilumina los rasgos fundamentales de su escritura: la totalidad novelesca en constante transformación, la teología del poder, la aventura subversiva, la travesía utópica, las búsquedas morales y existenciales, la influencia de la literatura francesa, el idealismo quijotesco y las técnicas narrativas que dieron forma a sus mundos ficcionales.

Este libro es un homenaje a Vargas Llosa y a su impacto en la literatura y la identidad latinoamericanas. Una invitación a redescubrir su obra desde nuevas perspectivas. Esta edición incluye, además, un dosier fotográfico que ilustra la trayectoria vital de uno de los más grandes escritores de las letras universales.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An intimate and revealing portrait of Mario Vargas Llosa.


“Alonso Cueto, a masterful Peruvian novelist, is one of the most gifted storytellers in all Spanish-language literature.” -—J.J. Armas Marcelo, El Cultural

In this essay, Alonso Cueto guides readers through the obsessions, dilemmas, and passions that shaped the work of Mario Vargas Llosa—one of the most influential authors in contemporary literature. Throughout the book, with the rigor of literary study and the closeness of someone who knew Vargas Llosa since childhood, Cueto illuminates the defining traits of his writing: the ever-evolving totality of the novel, the theology of power, the subversive adventure, the utopian journey, moral and existential quests, the influence of French literature, Quixotic idealism, and the narrative techniques that gave life to his fictional worlds.

This book is both a tribute to Vargas Llosa and a reflection on his profound impact on Latin American literature and identity. It is an invitation to rediscover his work from new perspectives. This edition also includes a photographic dossier illustrating the life and career of one of the greatest writers in world literature.
