«La guerra del fin del mundo» is the historical novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Seix Barral in paperback (425 pages, in Spanish).
In late nineteenth-century Brazil, a messianic leader known as the Counselor mobilizes the dispossessed peasants of the northeast and founds the community of Canudos. The novel interweaves that religious revolt with the political-military response of the republican government, and portrays characters such as the Little Blessed One, the Lion of Natuba, and María Quadrado.
This edition belongs to the Literatura Contemporánea collection, number 3, from Seix Barral; it was Vargas Llosa's first novel set outside Peru.
It is a work for readers of historical fiction and Latin American narrative.
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".
