EL LIBRO QUE CELEBRA LA ENTRADA DEL PREMIO NOBEL MARIO VARGAS LLOSA EN LA ACADEMIA FRANCESA

«La literatura francesa fue la mejor y sigue siéndolo. La más osada, la más libre, [...] la que se insubordina a la actualidad, la que regula y administra los sueños de los seres vivos».

Los mitos literarios y el dinamismo intelectual en Francia sedujeron a Vargas Llosa en los inicios de su carrera hasta el punto de que llegó a creer que sólo se convertiría en escritor si llegaba a París y lograba aclimatarse a un ambiente que concedía a las artes y al pensamiento un lugar privilegiado. Las novelas de Dumas y Flaubert le abrieron la imaginación y lo inclinaron hacia el realismo, y las ideas de Sartre, Camus, Bataille, Aron y Revel le mostraron cómo debía ser un intelectual público.
Según indica Carlos Granés en el prólogo de este libro, «su formación intelectual y cultural le dio la certeza de que cualquier escritor latinoamericano, incluso uno nacido en la provincia peruana (un bárbaro), podía participar en todos los asuntos políticos, culturales y sociales de su época si se nutría de sólidas tradiciones literarias y filosóficas. Buscando a Francia, Vargas Llosa encontró su país natal y el mundo entero».

La selección de escritos que conforman Un bárbaro en París da cuenta de esta devoción por la cultura francesa que ha conducido a Vargas Llosa a ser el primer autor de una lengua extranjera que recibe el más alto honor destinado a los escritores francófonos: convertirse en uno de los «inmortales». Por esta razón, el volumen se cierra con el discurso inédito de ingreso en la Academia Francesa pronunciado en febrero de 2023.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

THE BOOK THAT CELEBRATES THE ENTRY OF NOBEL PRIZE WINNER MARIO VARGAS LLOSA TO THE FRENCH ACADEMY.

"French literature was and still is the best. The boldest, the freest... the one that rebels against actuality, the one that regulates and manages every living being's dreams."

France's literary myths and intellectual dynamism seduced Vargas Llosa at the beginning of his career, so much so that he came to believe he would only become a writer if he arrived in Paris and got attuned to the ambience that gave art and thought a privileged place. Dumas' and Flaubert's novels widened his imagination and steered him towards realism, while the ideas of Sartre, Camus, Bataille, Aron, and Revel showed him how a public intellectual should be.

According to Carlos Granés in the prologue of this book, "his intellectual and cultural formation gave him the certainty that any Latin American writer, even one born in the Peruvian countryside (a barbarian), might participate in all the political, cultural, and social matters of his time if he were to be nurtured with solid literary and philosophical traditions. While in a quest to find France, Vargas Llosa found his native country and the whole world."

The selected texts that comprise A barbarian in Paris are an account of the devotion to French culture that led Vargas Llosa to become the first author in a foreign language to receive the highest honor intended for French-speaking writers: being one of the "immortals." For this reason, the volume closes with his unpublished admission speech, pronounced at the French Academy in February, 2023.

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days. To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness. The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted. This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark. Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.

my new favorite book
Format: Kindle
Ok so I never write reviews but this book was so good I felt the need to write this. Firstly your introduced to Huntyr you see her closed off hard core badass than towards the end you see the most subtle change and growth it’s amazing and the enemies to friends to lovers was just perfect, AND THE TWIST AT THE END GOT ME GOOD! You see one spicy scene the whole book but it doesn’t even MATTER BECAUSE THE BOOK WAS THAT GOOD. I’ve read 85 books in 2023-2024 so far and I’m pround to say this is my all time favorite. I’m so excited to read more of Emily Blackwoods books, this was my first time reading one of hers and I’m glad I did because HOLY!! Well done Emily well done

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!
