Synopsis "Mario Vargas Llosa. Ciudad, Arquitectura y Paisaje (in Spanish)"

La presente edición reúne once textos en los que Mario Vargas Llosa aborda aspectos propios de la arquitectura y la experiencia urbana. Esta selección permite reconocer al autor como un ciudadano que no solo transita y consume la ciudad, sino que también reflexiona con lucidez acerca de ella, con una mirada amplia de sus espacios públicos y edificios, algunos distantes y disímiles como una reconocida biblioteca en Londres, o la casa donde nació, en Arequipa, Perú.

Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa (Arequipa, March 28, 1936), known as Mario Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquis of Vargas Llosa, is a Peruvian writer who also holds Spanish nationality since 1993 and Dominican nationality since June 2022. Considered one of the most important contemporary novelists and essayists, his works have received numerous awards, including the Nobel Prize in Literature 2010, the Cervantes Prize 1994 —considered the most important in the Spanish language—, the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature 1986, the Biblioteca Breve Prize 1962, the Rómulo Gallegos Prize 1967, and the Planeta Prize 1993, among others. Alongside Gabriel García Márquez, Julio Cortázar, and Carlos Fuentes, he is one of the central figures of the Latin American boom

He rose to fame in the 1960s with novels such as The Time of the Hero (1963), The Green House (1966), and Conversation in the Cathedral (1969). He continued to prolifically cultivate various literary genres, such as essays, articles, and theater. Several of his works have been adapted into films and television. Most of his novels are set in Peru and explore his views on Peruvian society; however, in The War of the End of the World (1981), The Feast of the Goat (2000), and The Dream of the Celt (2010) he sets his plots in other countries.
