From Lima to Leticia

A primarily culturalist interpretation of four major novels of the Peruvian writer, Mario Vargas Llosa: La ciudad y los perros (1963), La casa verde (1966), Conversacion en La Catedral (1969), and Pantaleon y las visitadores (1973). The author sheds light on various techniques and themes of these novels to show how they contribute to Vargas Llosa's overall view of the human condition in Peru.
