«El Perú es para mí una especie de enfermedad incurable y mi relación con él es intensa, áspera, llena de la violencia que caracteriza a la pasión».

Las más de cinco décadas durante las que se ha desarrollado la labor periodística de Mario Vargas Llosa están jalonadas de textos imprescindibles sobre la cultura, la política, la historia y la realidad social de Perú cuya lectura en este volumen revela al lector la profunda vinculación del Premio Nobel de Literatura con su país natal.

«Éste es el Perú de Mario Vargas Llosa, el que recorrió, vivió y vio evolucionar social, cultural y políticamente. El país en el que se inspiró para escribir sus novelas, el que incubó sus demonios literarios y el que despertó su inconformismo y su curiosidad intelectual. Éste es el Perú en el que proyectó sus ilusiones y con el que se enfrascó en más de una escaramuza; la sociedad que quiso transformar desde la acción política y que finalmente ayudó a moldear desde el debate público. Si como novelista Vargas Llosa logró fijar una imagen del Perú que hoy es mundialmente reconocida --una imagen ficticia, mítica, que sin embargo resume de manera fiel los conflictos, dilemas, frustraciones y anhelos de la vida peruana--, como intelectual logró contagiar a la sociedad con sus preocupaciones, ideas, gustos y valores. No es exagerado decir que la conversación publica en el Perú actual es la que es, en gran medida, porque a lo largo del último medio siglo Vargas Llosa ha publicado determinados artículos y determinados ensayos, y porque con ellos logró abrir debates económicos, morales, ideológicos y estéticos de enorme impacto en los distintos ámbitos de la vida peruana».

Del prólogo de Carlos Granés

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Peru is to me a sort of incurable disease, and my relationship with it is intense, rough, full of the characteristic violence in passion."

The more than five decades during which Mario Vargas Llosa's journalistic work has been developing are dotted by essential works on culture, politics, history, and Peru's social reality, and in this volume, he reveals to the reader the deep bond the Nobel Prize winner has with his native country.

"This is Mario Vargas Llosa's Peru, the one he traveled, lived, and watched evolve socially, culturally, and politically. The country that inspired him to write his novels, the one that incubated his literary demons, and the one that sparked his nonconformity and his intellectual curiosity. This is the Peru where Vargas Llosa cast his illusions, and the one he skirmished with more than once; the society he wanted to transform through political action and which he finally got to mold through public debate. If, as a novelist, Vargas Llosa managed to set an image of Peru today that is known worldwide--a fictitious, mythical image, that nevertheless faithfully summarizes the conflicts, dilemmas, frustrations, and yearnings of Peruvian life--as an intellectual he managed to spread his concerns, ideas, tastes, and values through society. It is no exaggeration to say that public dialogue in current Peru largely is what it is because Vargas Llosa has been publishing certain articles and certain essays for the last half a century, and because through them he managed to open financial, moral, ideological, and artistic debates of great impact in the different spheres of Peruvian life."

From the prologue by Carlos Granés.

It’s good and non irritating
Perfect for daily use, it’s lightweight so if you have very dry skin (like me) u may need to use thicker moisturizer but it’s still pretty good. U can still wear make up afterwards with no issues which I loved

Excelent daily moisturizer
This is a nice, thick, ceramide rich moisturizer that provides great occlusion. I have really dry skin, and this is like a big drink of water for the face.

Hydrating Night Time Lotion
This product is so rich and hydrating. I wake up in the morning and my skin still feels hydrated. It is an amazing product especially for the price. I have tried many lotions and this is the best like literally better than high end ones.

Great toy
Color: Pawty
My dog loves this toy. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was a decent size for a stuffed toy, and not tiny. It seems pretty sturdy as my dog can shred some stuffed toys, but this one is still standing with the squeaker intact. The rope is securely attached within the toy and my dog likes to play some tug-of-war with it. Would recommend to other pet parents.

Husky approved!
Color: Cheers
Got this for my large husky to wear for his 10th birthday. He didn't tear it up right away. The squeaker lasted longer than it does with most toys. He seemed to genuinely enjoy the toy. Removed the stretchy string once I got a few pictures so he wouldn't eat it. Very cute.
