Vargas Llosa Mario, Rabassa Gregory (TRN) Title : Conversation In The Cathedral
Author: Vargas Llosa Mario, Rabassa Gregory (TRN)
Publisher: Perennial

A Haunting tale of power, corruption,
and the complex search for identity

Conversation in The Cathedral takes place in 1950s Peru during the dictatorship of Manuel A. Odría. Over beers and a sea of freely spoken words, the conversation flows between two individuals, Santiago and Ambrosia, who talk of their tormented lives and of the overall degradation and frustration that has slowly taken over their town.

Through a complicated web of secrets and historical references, Mario Vargas Llosa analyzes the mental and moral mechanisms that govern power and the people behind it. More than a historic analysis, Conversation in The Cathedral is a groundbreaking novel that tackles identity as well as the role of a citizen and how a lack of personal freedom can forever scar a people and a nation.

Vargas Llosa Mario, Rabassa Gregory (TRN) Title : The Green House
Author: Vargas Llosa Mario, Rabassa Gregory (TRN)
Publisher: Perennial

Mario Vargas Llosa's classic early novel takes place in a Peruvian town, situated between desert and jungle, which is torn by boredom and lust. Don Anselmo, a stranger in a black coat, builds a brothel on the outskirts of the town while he charms its innocent people, setting in motion a chain reaction with extraordinary consequences.

This brothel, called the Green House, brings together the innocent and the corrupt: Bonificia, a young Indian girl saved by the nuns only to become a prostitute; Father Garcia, struggling for the church; and four best friends drawn to both excitement and escape.

The conflicting forces that haunt the Green House evoke a world balanced between savagery and civilization -- and one that is cursed by not being able to discern between the two.

Vargas Llosa Mario Title : Il Paradiso è altrove
Author: Vargas Llosa Mario
Publisher: Einaudi

Il gioco appare non solo con la forza del ricordo, ma con il suo possente valore simbolico di ricerca del paradiso in terra, inteso come giustizia, bellezza, libertà, amore: l'Utopia. E due utopisti sono Paul Gauguin e Flora Tristán, sua nonna materna agitatrice sociale e protofemnminista, le cui vicende vengono narrate in parallelo in questo romanzo. Ribelli e impulsivi, sognatori irriducibili ma anche ostinati combattenti.

Vargas Llosa Mario Title : Letteratura e politica
Author: Vargas Llosa Mario
Publisher: Passigli

Fra gli scrittori che hanno riflettuto sulla complessa relazione tra politica e letteratura, la posizione di Mario Vargas Llosa è particolarmente interessante, in quanto il grande narratore peruviano non solo ha indagato questa relazione nel corso della sua ormai vasta opera, ma ha voluto cimentarsi anche in prima persona con l'impegno politico, candidandosi alcuni anni fa alla presidenza del suo Paese. Il presente volume è il risultato di un ciclo di conferenze tenutosi in Messico, nel quale Vargas Llosa ricostruisce l'evoluzione della sua visione politica, a partire dai giovanili entusiasmi per Jean-Paul Sartre, fino ad evidenziare il ruolo della politica nell'opera degli scrittori più amati; Flaubert, Tolstoj, Faullkner.

Vargas Llosa Mario, Wimmer Natasha (TRN) Title : The Way To Paradise
Author: Vargas Llosa Mario, Wimmer Natasha (TRN)
Publisher: St Martins Pr

A New York Times Notable Book

Flora Tristán, the illegitimate child of a wealthy Peruvian father and French mother, grows up in poverty and journeys to Peru to demand her inheritance. On her return in 1844, she makes her name as a champion of the downtrodden, touring the French countryside to recruit members for her Workers' Union.
In 1891, Flora's grandson, struggling painter and stubborn visionary Paul Gauguin, abandons his wife and five children for life in the South Seas, where his dreams of paradise are poisoned by syphilis, the stifling forces of French colonialism, and a chronic lack of funds, though he has his pick of teenage Tahitian lovers and paints some of his greatest works.
Flora died before her grandson was born, but their travels and obsessions unfold side by side in this double portrait, a rare study in passion and ambition, as well as the obstinate pursuit of greatness in the face of illness and death.

Vargas Llosa Mario Title : The Language of Passion
Author: Vargas Llosa Mario
Publisher: Picador USA

Internationally acclaimed novelist Mario Vargas Llosa has contributed a biweekly column to Spain's major newspaper, El País, since 1977. In this collection of columns from the 1990s, Vargas Llosa weighs in on the burning questions of the last decade, including the travails of
Latin American democracy, the role of religion in civic life, and the future of globalization. But Vargas Llosa's influence is hardly limited to politics. In some of the liveliest critical writing of his career, he makes a pilgrimage to Bob Marley's shrine in Jamaica, celebrates the sexual abandon of Carnaval in Rio, and examines the legacies of Vermeer, Bertolt Brecht, Frida Kahlo, and Octavio Paz, among others.

Vargas Llosa Mario Title : Chi ha ucciso Palomino Molero?
Author: Vargas Llosa Mario
Publisher: Einaudi

Una morte scomoda mette in moto una spirale di inquietanti interrogativi nel Perù degli anni Cinquanta. La vittima è Palomino Molero, un giovane aviere trovato senza vita e con i segni evidenti di atroci torture. Un caso come molti nel clima di incertezza politica e sociale di quegli anni. Per molti un caso da archiviare senza strepito, un 'incidente' senza importanza né conseguenze. Decisi a far luce sull'omicidio, il tenente Silva e il suo aiutante Lituma ricostruiscono i brandelli di una impossibile storia d'amore tra la vittima e la figlia di un colonnello in un mondo in cui dominano reticenze e contraddizioni, e dove il potere e la corruzione riescono a trasformare la verità in tante verità diverse.

Vargas Llosa Mario Title : La libertà selvaggia. Diario dall'Iraq
Author: Vargas Llosa Mario
Publisher: Einaudi

All'indomani della caduta del regime di Saddam Hussein, Vargas Llosa ha intrapreso un viaggio di due settimane in Iraq. Sono giorni di anarchia selvaggia per una società priva di qualsiasi esperienza di libertà, frammentata da antagonismi e rivalità. Venticinque milioni di abitanti che vivono nella terra d'origine della scrittura e della prima raccolta di leggi il codice di Hammurabi - escono da uno dei regimi autoritari più corrotti e brutali. Lo scrittore peruviano incontra le massime autorità sciite, ostili agli americani, ma anche al sunnita Saddam; racconta delle prime fosse comuni scoperte; raccoglie la testimonianza di un giovane torturato; visita il Kurdistan, l'enclave 'americana', prova generale del nuovo ordine.

Vargas Llosa Mario, Lane Helen (TRN) Title : In Praise of the Stepmother
Author: Vargas Llosa Mario, Lane Helen (TRN)
Publisher: Picador USA

With meticulous observation and the seductive skill of a great storyteller, Vargas Llosa lures the reader into the shadow of perversion that, little by little, darkens the extraordinary happiness and harmony of his characters. The mysterious nature of happiness and above all, the corrupting power of innocence are the themes that underlie these pages, and the author has perfectly met the demands of the erotic novel, never dimming for an instant the fine poetic polish of his writing.

Vargas Llosa Mario, Grossman Edith (TRN) Title : The Feast of the Goat
Author: Vargas Llosa Mario, Grossman Edith (TRN)
Publisher: Picador USA

Haunted all her life by feelings of terror and emptiness, forty-nine-year-old Urania Cabral returns to her native Dominican Republic - and finds herself reliving the events of l961, when the capital was still called Trujillo City and one old man terrorized a nation of three million. Rafael Trujillo, the depraved ailing dictator whom Dominicans call the Goat, controls his inner circle with a combination of violence and blackmail. In Trujillo's gaudy palace, treachery and cowardice have become a way of life. But Trujillo's grasp is slipping. There is a conspiracy against him, and a Machiavellian revolution already underway that will have bloody consequences of its own. In this 'masterpiece of Latin American and world literature, and one of the finest political novels ever written' (Bookforum), Mario Vargas Llosa recounts the end of a regime and the birth of a terrible democracy, giving voice to the historical Trujillo and the victims, both innocent and complicit, drawn into his deadly orbit.

Vargas Llosa Mario Title : Storia di Mayta
Author: Vargas Llosa Mario
Publisher: Einaudi

Mayta è il nome del presunto eroe di un velleitario golpe trockijsta che Vargas Llosa immagina essersi svolto nel 1958 in America Latina. A metà del Novecento, in quei paesi, fra avventurieri e idealisti, la libertà stava sempre a un tiro di schioppo. E per conquistarla la via rivoluzionaria sembrava la migliore. In questa ricostruzione, Vargas Llosa ci fa ripercorrere la vita dei diversi personaggi attraverso le testimonianze dei loro conoscenti e il confronto, a posteriori, di questi racconti con la realtà.

Vargas Llosa Mario Title : La ciudad y los perros
Author: Vargas Llosa Mario
Publisher: Messaggerie Internazionali

La ciudad y los perros no solamente es un ataque contra la crueldad ejercida a un grupo de jóvenes alumnos del Colegio Militar Leoncio Prado, sino también una crítica frontal al concepto erróneo de la virilidad, de sus funciones y de las consecuencias de una educación castrense malentendida. Aunada a la brutalidad propia de la vida militar, a lo largo de las páginas de esta extraordinaria novela, la vehemencia y la pasión de la juventud se desbocan hasta llegar a una furia, una rabia y un fanatismo que anulan toda sensibilidad. El libro más violento de Mario Vargas Llosa, traducido a más de treinta idiomas.

Vargas Llosa Mario, Lane Helen (TRN) Title : The Storyteller
Author: Vargas Llosa Mario, Lane Helen (TRN)
Publisher: Picador USA

At a small gallery in Florence, a Peruvian writer happens upon a photograph of a tribal storyteller deep in the jungles of the Amazon. He is overcome with the eerie sense that he knows this man...that the storyteller is not an Indian at all but an old school friend, Saul Zuratas. As recollections of Zuratas flow through his mind, the writer begins to imagine Zuratas's transformation from a modern to a central member of the unacculturated Machiguenga tribe. Weaving the mysteries of identity, storytelling, and truth, Vargas Llosa has created a spellbinding tale of one man's journey from the modern world to our origins, abandoning one in order to find meaning in both.

Vargas Llosa Mario Title : I quaderni di don Rigoberto
Author: Vargas Llosa Mario
Publisher: Einaudi

Un padre dall'immaginazione troppo fervida, un figlio diabolicamente angelico, una matrigna dalla sensualità irresistibile sono i protagonisti di questo romanzo di raffinato erotismo. Rigoberto, il padre, è un uomo di successo, appassionato d'arte e di letteratura. Eppure qualcosa lo tormenta, qualcosa lo spinge, nelle notti insonni, a frugare tra i numerosi quaderni dove per anni ha annotato emozioni, sentimenti, riflessioni. E' la nostalgia per Lucrecia, la seconda moglie che ha condiviso con lui dieci anni di notti appassionate e inventive. E mentre don Rigoberto soffre da solo, Lucrecia è relegata nel suo appartamento vittima di un simmetrico rimpianto per l'ex marito. Che cosa ha potuto separare dunque due persone che si amano così tanto?
