Descripción del artículo del vendedor

1st Printing. Signed. 260 pages. Published in 1998. The author's twelfth novel. Now considered a late-modern classic. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Mario Vargas Llosa's "The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto" in a felicitous English translation. The sequel to "In Praise of The Stepmother". It is another heartfelt homage to the erotic novel and to Gustave Flaubert. For Vargas Llosa, erotic power is the one Good Side of the very bad side of life called power, his lifelong subject. The novel is one of several homages to Flaubert as master stylist of language and as sensualist, which began with "The Perpetual Orgy" (1975) and culminated with "The Bad Girl" (2007), his "remake" of "Madame Bovary". Mario Vargas Llosa was the writer/intellectual/philosopher par excellence among the Latin-American geniuses of the so-called Boom: He refused to be categorized, labeled, and reduced by ideology, whether it is Fascist conservatism, political correctness, or Leftist academicism, what he condemned as "authoritarianism of the Left and the Right". He considered himself an heir to the great European cultural tradition yet his work is firmly grounded in Latin America's (not just his native Peru's) history and mythology. His aesthetics and literary practice - Vargas Llosa embraced and appropriated every literary genre - prompted Roberto Bolano, his greatest successor, to consider him an inescapable influence, among a handful of others, on contemporary Latin-American literature. That is to say, to be a Latin-American writer is to become a Classical master of language and a Modernist artist, writing in language of the highest quality and reinventing literary form and convention at the same time. Literary genres are inventions of a particular culture's idea of imagination and storytelling, "templates" that Vargas Llosa transformed into "poetic tales" (in Harold Bloom's brilliant phrase). An absolute "must-have" title for Mario Vargas Llosa collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Mario Vargas Llosa. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a late-modern classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Among "Boom" writers, Mario Vargas Llosa has been grossly under-valued for the longest time even though he rarely did public signings. The collectible value of his books will not only keep but keep going up. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the Cervantes Prize, awarded to the greatest living writers in Spanish by the Spanish Government, in 1994. Winner of the Jerusalem Prize in 1995. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2010. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER MARIO VARGAS LLOSA TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0374223270.…
