The Real Life of Alejandro Mayta

Quarter bound in publisher's gray cloth over light gray boards. Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquis of Vargas Llosa (born 1936), more commonly known as Mario Vargas Llosa, is a Peruvian writer, politician, journalist, essayist, college professor, and recipient of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature. Vargas Llosa is one of Latin America's most significant novelists and essayists, and one of the leading writers of his generation. Some critics consider him to have had a larger international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom. "The Real Life of Alejandro Mayta" is an astute psychological portrait of a modern revolutionary and a searching account of an old friend's struggle to understand him. First published in English in 1986, the novel probes the long and checkered history of radical politics in Latin America. Top edges of boards (only) lightly sunned, otherwise both the volume and the unclipped dust jacket (now in Mylar) are in perfect, unmarked condition. NEAR FINE/AS NEW. . 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
