Mario Vargas Llosa   

overview

An exemplary novel in the history of the boom in Latin American literature, La casa verde is a must for every reader who wants an in-depth knowledge of the narrative work of Mario Vargas Llosa. The novel takes place in two very distant points: Piura, in the desert of coastal Peru, and Santa Maria de Nieva, a factory/mission compound lost in the heart of the Amazonia. The symbol that locks the mystery of this story is the mythical pleasure house that Don Anselmo, the foreigner, erects in the outskirts of Piura. Description in Spanish: La casa verde transcurre en dos lugares muy alejados entre si: Piura, en el desierto del litoral peruano, y Santa Maria de Nieva, una factoria y mision religiosa perdida en el corazon de la Amazonia. Simbolo de la historia es la mitica casa de placer que don Anselmo, el forastero, erige en las afueras de Piura. Novela ejemplar en la historia del boom latinoamericano, La casa verde es una experiencia ineludible para todo aquel que quiera conocer en profundidad la obra narrativa de Mario Vargas Llosa.
