About the Book

"Relato de un tiempo de reivindicación violenta de los derechos y deseos de América Latina, Historia de Mayta se desarrolla en 1958, durante una intentona revolucionaria trotskista. Vargas Llosa dibuja un perfecto mural de los movimientos de izquierda de la época y nos conduce hasta los límites de la verdad. Porque la historia procede de las ficciones personales, y el lenguaje de la invención traiciona inevitablemente la experiencia real. La novela va mucho más allá de las lecturas políticas a las que en su momento se redujo. Hoy, además, nos deleita con toda la altura literaria de Mario Vargas Llosa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In this novel Vargas Llosa introduces us to Mayta, the headman in a Trotskyist attempted coup in 1958. Using testimonies from those who knew him and the subsequent confrontation of this tale, Vargas Llosa leads us to the intimate knowledge of a man, the embodiment of social exclusion, the son of a period of ideological conflicts and political passions, and to the understanding of a turnkey moment in the evolution of Latin America."
