«Pantaleón y las visitadoras» is the satirical novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback, with 309 pages, in Spanish.
Captain Pantaleón Pantoja, recently promoted and a strict follower of duty, receives the secret mission to organize a prostitution service for the Peruvian Armed Forces in the Amazon. His zeal and obsession with efficiency exceed the assignment and turn it into a satire of authoritarianism, institutional hypocrisy, and military absurdity.
The novel was originally published in 1973. Mario Vargas Llosa received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2010.
For readers of satirical fiction and twentieth-century Latin American literature, as well as for followers of Mario Vargas Llosa's work.
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".
