LA ULTIMA NOVELA DE MARIO VARGAS LLOSA, PREMIO NOBEL DE LITERATURA
Una historia de conspiraciones pol ticas e intereses encontrados durante la Guerra Fr a. Una mentira que pas por verdad y cambi el devenir de Am rica Latina. « Era la historia esa fant stica tergiversaci n de la realidad? Guatemala, 1954. El golpe militar perpetrado por Carlos Castillo Armas y auspiciado por Estados Unidos a trav s de la CIA derroca el gobierno de Jacobo rbenz. Detr s de este acto violento se encuentra una mentira que pas por verdad y que cambi el devenir de Am rica Latina: la acusaci n por parte del gobierno de Eisenhower de que rbenz alentaba la entrada del comunismo sovi tico en el continente. Tiempos recios es una historia de conspiraciones internacionales e intereses encontrados, en los a os de la Guerra Fr a, cuyos ecos resuenan hasta la actualidad. Una historia que involucr a varios pa ses y en la que algunos verdugos acabaron convirti ndose en v ctimas de la misma trama que hab an ayudado a construir. En esta novela apasionante, que conecta con la aclamada La Fiesta del Chivo, Mario Vargas Llosa funde la realidad con dos ficciones: la del narrador que libremente recrea personajes y situaciones, y la dise ada por aquellos que quisieron controlar la pol tica y la econom a de un continente manipulando su historia. En palabras de Pilar Reyes, directora de la Divisi n Literaria de Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, «Tiempos recios es una de las grandes novelas de Mario Vargas Llosa, y su publicaci n generar una profunda conversaci n en torno a los juegos de poder entre Estados Unidos y Am rica Latina. Un libro importante que Alfaguara se enorgullece de publicar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Guatemala, 1954. The military coup perpetrated by Carlos Castillo Armas and supported by the United States via the CIA topples the government of Jacobo rbenz. Behind this violent act is a lie passed off as the truth, which changed the development of Latin America: the accusation by Eisenhower's government that rbenz encouraged the spread of Soviet communism in the Americas. Fierce Times is a story of international conspiracies and conflicting interests in the time of the Cold War, the echoes of which are still felt today. A story involving several countries, in which some persecutors end up as victims of the very plot they helped construct. In this thrilling novel, which is connected to the acclaimed La Fiesta del Chivo (The Feast of the Goat), Mario Vargas Llosa fuses reality with two fictions: that of the narrator who freely recreates characters and situations, and the one designed by those who would control the politics and the economy of a continent by manipulating its history. In the words of Pilar Reyes, director of the Literary Division of Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, "Tiempos recios (Fierce Times) is one of Mario Vargas Llosa's great novels, and its publication will spark a profound conversation about the power games between the United States and Latin America. An important book that Alfaguara is proud to publish."Author Biography
