The first great historical novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, a fundamental book of narrative in Spanish of the 20th century. Set in the late nineteenth century in northeastern Brazil, it tells the story of a messianic and enigmatic character who leads an insurrection of the disinherited. In the midst of the Canudos revolution, a political-military plot is articulated to stop the movement that threatens to expand. A masterpiece that explores vital dignity, religious exaltation and the breaking of the rules of the world of the powerful.
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".
