Product details
Por qu sigue vac a y llena de miedo desde los catorce a os?
Por qu 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 a n se llamaba Ciudad Trujillo. All un hombre que no suda tiraniza a tres millones de personas sin saber que se gesta una maquiav lica transici n a la democracia. Con un ritmo y una precisi n dif cilmente superables, este peruano universal muestra que la pol tica puede consistir en abrirse camino entre cad veres, y que un ser inocente puede convertirse en un regalo truculento. Mejor novela espa ola del siglo XXI seg n los expertos consultados por el diario ABC. Rese as:
«Mario Vargas Llosa ha vuelto a la novela hist rica con el arte acumulado tras su ya extenso periplo literario. El resultado es un libro espl ndido, de lo mejor que ha dado su innegable talento.
Joaqu n Marco, El Cultural de El Mundo «Una estructura perfectamente engarzada, donde el desarrollo de las tres l neas argumentales se refuerza sostenidamente a un ritmo apasionante de thriller pol tico e intriga dram tica. Fietta Jarque, Babelia «Esta novela atrapar a todo aquel que caiga en sus fauces. El fest n narrativo organizado por el autor invita a continuar insomne hasta el ltimo lamento de esperanza final... podemos disfrutar, una vez m s, de un talento torrencial, el que se vierte en las voces y acontecimientos de una obra llena de incertidumbres morales.
Andr s Magro, Diario 16 «El doctor Vargas Llosa ha escrito mucho m s que la historia de un magnicidio... Esta es la vuelta triunfal a su mejor literatura.
Javier Aparicio, El Peri dico de Catalunya «Plet rico de imaginaci n, t cnica narrativa y altura de pensamiento, vuelve el mejor Mario Vargas Llosa con La Fiesta del Chivo , una feroz cr tica de la tiran a impuesta por Trujillo a la Rep blica Dominicana y una excepcional novela sobre la corrupci n que envuelve cualquier forma absolutista de ejercicio de poder.
Francisco Garc a P rez, La Nueva Espa a ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 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.
