«La fiesta del chivo» is the historical novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (447 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the Dominican Republic, the work reconstructs the final years of Rafael Trujillo's dictatorship. Several voices intertwine: that of Urania Cabral, who returns to the island, and that of the conspirators preparing the end of the regime. Vargas Llosa portrays the brutality of power, corruption, and the fear that paralyzed society.
Originally published in 2000; shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize and the Dublin Literary Award in 2003.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and political fiction, as well as followers of Nobel Prize in Literature winner 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".
