The novel takes place in two very distant places: Pira, in the desert of the Peruvian coast, and Santa María de Nieva, a factory and religious mission lost in the heart of the Amazon. A symbol of the story is the mythical house of pleasure that Don Anselmo, the outsider, erects on the outskirts of Piura.
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".
