«Manual del perfecto idiota latinoamericano y español» is the essay by Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza, Carlos Alberto Montaner and Álvaro Vargas Llosa in paperback.
The book ironically portrays the «Latin American idiot» as an archetype of certain elites: someone who blames others' greed for poverty, rejects consumerism and boasts of being «on line». The work surveys the history and thought of Latin America and Spain and ends with an anthology of absurdities in which the authors include themselves.
Published by Plaza & Janés in 1996, with 331 pages and a foreword by Mario Vargas Llosa. It is the first volume in the «Idiota» series.
For readers of political essays and history who appreciate satirical criticism and reflection on the dominant ideas in Latin America and Spain.
Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza is a Colombian journalist, writer, and diplomat. Mendoza was named in honour to the Roman authors Pliny the Younger and Apuleius.
