Why does Ourania Kavral return to her island in the early 1990s when she had sworn never to set foot there again? Why has she felt terror for her life since she was 14? And why has she not experienced a single love in her life?
In "The Feast of the Goat," his highly anticipated new novel, the great Peruvian author weaves a grand tapestry where History intertwines with small human stories, and where well-known historical figures - such as General Trujillo, who tortured 3,000,000 people without suspecting his "Machiavellian" downfall - cross paths with the fictional heroes of the book.
With a torrential pace and his unmatched literary ability, Vargas Llosa returns to the "political" novel to touch, warn and denounce all those forms of power that survive by forging paths through heaps of corpses.
Global criticism has hailed "The Feast of the Goat" as the undisputed masterpiece of Vargas Llosa's mature writing period. [Excerpt from the text on the back cover of the edition]
