«Lituma en los Andes» is the novel by Mario Vargas Llosa published by Planeta in paperback, with 310 pages, in Spanish.
In a mining camp in the Peruvian Andes, Corporal Lituma and his assistant Tomás investigate the disappearances of peasants while the threat of Shining Path envelops the area. The story alternates mystery with Tomás's memories, in a narrative that blends realism and mythical breath to portray the violence and ancestral beliefs of rural Peru.
The novel won the Planeta Prize in 1993. Lituma is a character who had already appeared in earlier works by Vargas Llosa.
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquess of Vargas Llosa was a Peruvian novelist, journalist, essayist, and politician.

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".
