MARIO VARGAS LLOSA
Mario Vargas Llosa (74) celebrated peruvian- spanish author and one of the most renowned novelist of his generation, has won the Nobel prize for literature.
Mr Llosa was one of the great Latin American story tellers, a master of dialogue who has been searching for the elusive concept known as the total novel,and who believes in the power of fiction to improve the world.
While Mr Llosa is known for his prolific writing that include comedies and murder mysteries, his most powerful novels have contained commentaryon historical and political conditions in his native peru and other parts of Lanin Ameerica. The”monumental” work that ‘Conversation in the Cathedral’(1969) represents for example, was deeply concerned with the ravaging of peruvian politics and government under the dictatership of manuel A odria in the 1950s.
His other profoundly influential novel was ‘The Feast of the Goat(200)and other works include Aunt Julia and the Script writer(1977)The war of the End of the World(1981) and Death in the Andes(1993).
Born in Arequip,peru, Mr Llosa grew up with his mother in Bolivia after his parents were divorced.
