The new essay collection by the Nobel Prize-winning Peruvian novelist and social critic.In the past, culture was a kind of vital consciousness that constantly rejuvenated and revivified everyday reality. Now it is largely a mechanism of distraction and entertainment. Notes on the Death of Culture is an examination and indictment of this transformation - penned by none other than the Nobel winner Mario Vargas Llosa, who is not only one of our finest novelists but one of the keenest social critics at work today.Taking his cues from T. S. Eliot - whose treatise Notes Towards the Definition of Culture is a touchstone precisely because the culture Eliot aimed to describe has since vanished - Vargas Llosa traces a decline whose ill effects have only just begun to be felt. He mourns, in particular, the figure of the intellectual: for most of the twentieth century, men and women of letters drove political, aesthetic, and moral conversations; today they have all but disappeared from public debate.But Vargas Llosa stubbornly refuses to fade into the background. He is not content to merely sign a petition; he will not bite his tongue. A necessary provocateur, here vividly translated by John King, provides an impassioned and essential critique of our time and culture.

A thrilling tale of desire and Peruvian corruption swirls around a scandalous exposé that leads to murderFrom the Nobel Laureate comes a politically charged detective novel weaving through the underbelly of Peruvian privilege. In the 1990s, during the turbulent and deeply corrupt years of Alberto Fujimori's presidency, two wealthy couples of Lima's high society become embroiled in a disturbing vortex of erotic adventures and politically driven blackmail. One day Enrique, a high-profile businessman, receives a visit from Rolando Garro, the editor of a notorious magazine that specializes in salacious exposés. Garro presents Enrique with lewd pictures from an old business trip and demands that he invest in the magazine. Enrique refuses, and the next day the pictures are on the front page. Meanwhile, Enrique's wife is in the midst of a passionate and secret affair with the wife of Enrique's lawyer and best friend. When Garro shows up murdered, the two couples are thrown into a whirlwind of navigating Peru's unspoken laws and customs, while the staff of the magazine embark on their greatest exposé yet.Ironic and sensual, provocative and redemptive, the novel swirls into the kind of restless realism that has become Mario Vargas Llosa's signature style. A twisting, unpredictable tale, The Neighborhood is at once a scathing indictment of Fujimori's regime and a crime thriller that evokes the vulgarity of freedom in a corrupt system.
Ecrites dans les années 1950, ces six nouvelles mettent en scène la rivalité entre des bandes étudiantes rivales, le duel a mort provoqué par un homme bafoué, l'assassinat d'un Indien accusé a tort d'un viol, l'affrontement de deux garçons pour une même fille, un indic qui participe a la traque d'un fugitif et un vieillard transformant le crâne d'un enfant en torche.

Según Vargas Llosa, la literatura surge del desencuentro de un individuo con la realidad e instaura en la mente del lector un estado de inquietud. Esa es la idea que el escritor peruano despliega en La verdad de las mentiras, un libro con treinta y cinco ensayos sobre algunas de las novelas mas notables del siglo XX, desde Lolita hasta El extranjero o El gran Gatsby. En La tentacion de lo imposible: Victor Hugo y los miserables, ademas de encarar la cuestion de cual es "la razon de ser de la ficcion en la historia de la humanidad", Vargas Llosa vuelve su mirada hacia el siglo XIX y hacia la obra que tanto influyo en el inicio de su vocacion literaria. El viaje a la ficcion. El mundo de Juan Carlos Onetti es un analisis de las novelas y cuentos del autor uruguayo. En La civilizacion del espectaculo, el premio Nobel explora la relacion que existe entre la cultura y la sociedad. Cierra el volumen una amplia seccion de Apendices con mas de veinte escritos sobre literatura, arte y filosofia.Una reflexion sobre la relacion entre cultura y politica.Treinta y cinco prologos a algunas de las novelas mas importantes del siglo XX.Un ensayo minucioso sobre Los miserables, de Victor Hugo.Un acercamiento a la ficcion de Juan Carlos Onetti.
