-Descripcion Original:

-El Peru es para mi una especie de enfermedad incurable y mi relacion con el es intensa, aspera, llena de la violencia que caracteriza a la pasion-. Las mas de cinco decadas durante las que se ha desarrollado la labor periodistica de Mario Vargas Llosa estan jalonadas de textos imprescindibles sobre la cultura, la politica, la historia y la realidad social de Peru cuya lectura en este volumen revela al lector la profunda vinculacion del Premio Nobel de Literatura con su pais natal. -Éste es el Peru de Mario Vargas Llosa, el que recorrio, vivio y vio evolucionar social, cultural y politicamente. El pais en el que se inspiro para escribir sus novelas, el que incubo sus demonios literarios y el que desperto su inconformismo y su curiosidad intelectual. Éste es el Peru en el que proyecto sus ilusiones y con el que se enfrasco en mas de una escaramuza; la sociedad que quiso transformar desde la accion politica y que finalmente ayudo a moldear desde el debate publico. Si como novelista Vargas Llosa logro fijar una imagen del Peru que hoy es mundialmente reconocida -una imagen ficticia, mitica, que sin embargo resume de manera fiel los conflictos, dilemas, frustraciones y anhelos de la vida peruana-, como intelectual logro contagiar a la sociedad con sus preocupaciones, ideas, gustos y valores. No es exagerado decir que la conversacion publica en el Peru actual es la que es, en gran medida, porque a lo largo del ultimo medio siglo Vargas Llosa ha publicado determinados articulos y determinados ensayos, y porque con ellos logro abrir debates economicos, morales, ideologicos y esteticos de enorme impacto en los distintos ambitos de la vida peruana-. Del prologo de Carlos Granes ENGLISH DESCRIPTION “Peru is to me a sort of incurable disease, and my relationship with it is intense, rough, full of the characteristic violence in passion.” The more than five decades during which Mario Vargas Llosa’s journalistic work has been developing are dotted by essential works on culture, politics, history, and Peru’s social reality, and in this volume, he reveals to the reader the deep bond the Nobel Prize winner has with his native country. “This is Mario Vargas Llosa’s Peru, the one he traveled, lived, and watched evolve socially, culturally, and politically. The country that inspired him to write his novels, the one that incubated his literary demons, and the one that sparked his nonconformity and his intellectual curiosity. This is the Peru where Vargas Llosa cast his illusions, and the one he skirmished with more than once; the society he wanted to transform through political action and which he finally got to mold through public debate. If, as a novelist, Vargas Llosa managed to set an image of Peru today that is known worldwide-a fictitious, mythical image, that nevertheless faithfully summarizes the conflicts, dilemmas, frustrations, and yearnings of Peruvian life-as an intellectual he managed to spread his concerns, ideas, tastes, and values through society. It is no exaggeration to say that public dialogue in current Peru largely is what it is because Vargas Llosa has been publishing certain articles and certain essays for the last half a century, and because through them he managed to open financial, moral, ideological, and artistic debates of great impact in the different spheres of Peruvian life.” From the prologue by Carlos Granes.
