«El Paraíso en la otra esquina» is the novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Alfaguara in 2003 in paperback (485 pages, in Spanish).
The novel alternates the story of Flora Tristán, an activist for women's and workers' rights, and that of Paul Gauguin, who leaves his bourgeois life to settle in Tahiti in search of a world without conventions. Both pursue, from opposing stances on sex and society, the same ideal of paradise and happiness in the nineteenth century.

For readers of historical fiction and Hispanic American literature, especially followers of Mario Vargas Llosa.
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquess of Vargas Llosa was a Peruvian novelist, journalist, essayist, and politician. Vargas Llosa was one of the most significant Latin American novelists and essayists and one of the leading writers of his generation. Some critics consider him to have had a more substantial international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom. In 2010, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for "his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat".
