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.

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.
