Synopsis "Sueño y Realidad de América Latina (in Spanish)"

"El descubrimiento de América por los europeos se lleva a cabo bajo el imperio del mito y la ficción. Esto trazará poco menos que un destino para América Latina: ser vista o entendida por los europeos a menudo con los mismos ojos fantasiosos con que la vieron los primeros navegantes que pisaron su suelo." Mario Vargas Llosa

Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa (Arequipa, March 28, 1936), known as Mario Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquis of Vargas Llosa, is a Peruvian writer who also holds Spanish nationality since 1993 and Dominican nationality since June 2022. Considered one of the most important contemporary novelists and essayists, his works have received numerous awards, including the Nobel Prize in Literature 2010, the Cervantes Prize 1994 —considered the most important in the Spanish language—, the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature 1986, the Biblioteca Breve Prize 1962, the Rómulo Gallegos Prize 1967, and the Planeta Prize 1993, among others. Alongside Gabriel García Márquez, Julio Cortázar, and Carlos Fuentes, he is one of the central figures of the Latin American boom

He rose to fame in the 1960s with novels such as The Time of the Hero (1963), The Green House (1966), and Conversation in the Cathedral (1969). He continued to prolifically cultivate various literary genres, such as essays, articles, and theater. Several of his works have been adapted into films and television. Most of his novels are set in Peru and explore his views on Peruvian society; however, in The War of the End of the World (1981), The Feast of the Goat (2000), and The Dream of the Celt (2010) he sets his plots in other countries.
