«El sueño del celta» is the historical novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (460 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Roger Casement, an Irishman who denounced colonialism in the Belgian Congo and the South American Amazon. Those journeys led him to become involved in Irish nationalism and to confront the England he admired. Casement was a contradictory figure, hero and traitor, whose private life was marked by dubious diaries.
Mario Vargas Llosa won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2010. The work received the Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa Prize in 2013.
For readers of historical fiction interested in real characters with moral dilemmas and in the history of colonialism and Ireland.
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".
