Overview
Vargas Llosa, su otra gran pasión es la primera biografía política sobre Mario Vargas Llosa, premio Nobel de Literatura y uno de los intelectuales más influyentes del mundo contemporáneo.
Se trata de una minuciosa investigación que relata, de manera ágil y documentada, toda su acción política. Desde sus inicios como integrante de la célula comunista Cahuide en la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, pasando por su adhesión a la Revolución cubana y posterior rompimiento —por no ser el socialismo en libertad en el que creía—, su tránsito ideológico hacia el liberalismo, hasta la larga y dura campaña presidencial que encabezó en el Perú en la década de 1980 y que no ganó, pero cuyo discurso electoral se impuso posteriormente y, gracias a ello, el devenir económico de su patria mejoró radicalmente hasta la actualidad.
Este testimonio apasionado, narrado por un testigo de parte: Pedro Cateriano, amigo cercano y compañero de ruta política del novelista desde hace cuatro décadas, pasa revista, una a una, a las numerosas batallas libradas por el escritor contra dictaduras de todo signo, sus principales y más acaloradas polémicas y —obviamente— la ardorosa defensa de la cultura de la libertad como ciudadano del mundo librada hasta el día de hoy.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Vargas Llosa, His Other Great Passion is the first political biography of Mario Vargas Llosa, Nobel Prize winner in Literature and one of the most influential intellectuals of our time.
This thoroughly researched work offers a dynamic and well-documented account of his political journey. From his early involvement with the communist cell Cahuide at the National University of San Marcos, through his support for the Cuban Revolution and eventual break with it—for not being the “socialism in freedom” he believed in—to his ideological shift toward liberalism and the long, grueling presidential campaign he led in Peru during the 1980s. Though he did not win, his electoral message ultimately prevailed, contributing to the country’s radical economic transformation.
This passionate testimony, told by a close witness: Pedro Cateriano, longtime friend and political ally of the novelist, reviews one by one the many battles Vargas Llosa fought against dictatorships of all kinds, his most heated controversies, and—above all—his fervent defense of the culture of freedom as a global citizen, a fight he continues to this day.
