Mario Vargas Llosa - La guerra del fin del mundo (The War of the End of the World) ISBN: 84-322-0410-5 ABOUT THE BOOK: Published in 1981 by Editorial Seix Barral, "La guerra del fin del mundo" is one of the most celebrated historical novels by Nobel laureate Mario Vargas Llosa. Written entirely in Spanish, the narrative is a fictionalized retelling of the late 19th-century War of Canudos in Brazil, where an apocalyptic religious movement led by a mysterious preacher rebels against the newly formed Brazilian Republic. The work is widely considered to be one of Vargas Llosa's masterworks, deeply examining religious fanaticism, military hubris, and political division. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Mario Vargas Llosa (b. 1936) is a monumental Peruvian writer, politician, journalist, and essayist. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2010 "for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat." He rose to international fame during the 1960s Latin American Boom with novels like "The Time of the Hero" and "The Green House." PROVENANCE & INSCRIPTION: This copy features a significant literary association.
