Captain Pantoja and the Special Service
AvMario Vargas Llosa
Häftad, Engelska, 1987
133 kr
Skickas
In this delightful farce, the prim and proper Captain Pantoja is sent to Peru's Amazon frontier on a secret Army mission - he must find females for the amorous recruits. Yet complications arise as word of his achievements starts to spread, and he finds himself battling against his wife, religious zealots and the Army that gave him the mission in the first place.Through a wonderfully comic montage of letters, military documents, radio broadcasts, dream sequences and dialogue, Mario Vargas Llosa's Captain Pantoja and the Special Service combines political satire with humour, morality with uproarious sexuality.

I Lockrop berättar Mario Vargas Llosa sin intellektuella historia. Boken är en bildningsresa där författaren återvänder till böckerna som format honom. Han finner en livslång strid mellan lockropet från den egna stammen och västs universella ideal. I en tid då identitet och kultur hetsar fram lokala och globala spänningar ger 83-åringen ett djupt personligt perspektiv på en konflikt som aldrig varit mera aktuell eller förts med högre insatser.
Mario Vargas Llosa föddes i Peru 1936 och tilldelades Nobelpriset i litteratur 2010.

THE NEW NOVEL FROM THE WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE"A wildly enjoyable book; the 85-year-old Vargas Llosa is as sharp and mordantly funny as ever." Financial TimesGuatemala, 1954. A CIA-supported military coup topples the government. Behind this violent act is a lie passed off as truth, which forever changed the development of Latin America: that those in power encouraged the spread of Soviet communism in the Americas.Mario Vargas Llosa has written a drama on a world stage, in which some persecutors end up as victims of the very plot they helped construct. Ironic and sensual, provocative and redemptive, Harsh Times is a story of international conspiracies and conflicting interests in the time of the Cold War, the echoes of which are still felt today.

Lily, "den lilla chilenskan", är fräck och framfusig och bäst på att dansa mambo. Ricardo, medelklassynglingen, blir handlöst och hjälplöst förälskad, men avvisas av den flyktiga Lily. Ödet vill att deras vägar korsas många gånger under de kommande decennierna, på platser runtom i världen: Paris, Tokyo, London, Madrid och Havanna. Varje gång blir Ricardo lika förälskad i Lily igen, men själv älskar Lily sin frihet och den trygghet som bara pengar och makt kan ge.

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE'The Feast of the Goat will stand out as the great emblematic novel of Latin America's twentieth century.' Times Literary SupplementUrania Cabral, a New York lawyer, returns to the Dominican Republic after a lifelong self-imposed exile. Once she is back in her homeland, the elusive feeling of terror that has overshadowed her whole life suddenly takes shape. Urania's own story alternates with the powerful climax of dictator Rafael Trujillo's reign.In 1961, Trujillo's decadent inner circle (which includes Urania's soon-to-be disgraced father) enjoys the luxuries of privilege while the rest of the nation lives in fear and deprivation. As Trujillo clings to power, a plot to push the Dominican Republic into the future is being formed. But after the murder of its hated dictator, the Goat, is carried out, the Dominican Republic is plunged into the nightmare of a bloody and uncertain aftermath. Now, thirty years later, Urania reveals how her own family was fatally wounded by the forces of history. In The Feast of the Goat, Mario Vargas Llosa eloquently explores the effects of power and violence on the lives of both the oppressors and those they victimized.
