The idea of freedom in Vargas Llosa's fiction

Meer over het boek

Mario Vargas Llosa’s intellectual transformations, from socialism to pragmatism, and liberalism, are reflected in his political and historical fiction. From Sartrean anti-authoritarianism in La ciudad y los perros to an increasingly liberal world view in Cinco esquinas , El héroe discreto , or Travesuras de la niña mala , this monograph documents the Peruvian Nobel Prize winner’s philosophical and literary journey.
