MARIO VARGAS LLOSA






Hello readers!

These days we have been working on people who have been awarded with Nobel Prizes since 2002 in different categories, for example: physics, medicine, literature..

This time, our teacher has given us the work to write an article. First, we collected the information in groups about the Nobel prizes given in the last 14 years and now we are going to write each student a writing to refer one or two novel prizes.

I have chosen Mario Vargas Llosa because he won the nobel of literature in the year 2010, I had heard his name and I want to know for information about him.



Mario Vargas Llosa was born in 1936 in Arequipa, Peru’s second largest city. During his childhood in Cochabamba, Bolivia, and Piura, a city in the north of Peru, he believed that his father had died. However, this was a lie told by his mother to conceal their tortuous separation. The truth emerged when, in 1946, his father appeared unexpectedly to take him away from his mother’s parents, moving with him and his mother to Lima. This revelation signified an abrupt change in Vargas Llosa’s life, from the pampered upbringing of a feminine environment to the hostile treatment of an authoritarian father. At his side, he was to discover fear, injustice and violence for the first time.



During these years in which he left his childhood behind, devouring the works of Dumas and Victor Hugo, the political climate in Peru was a reflection of Vargas Llosa’s home life. The dictator Manuel Odría rose to power in 1948 and over the next eight years, while Vargas Llosa studied law and literature at the University of San Marcos, he imposed rigid controls on social life which stifled individuality, engendering scepticism, defeatism and frustration among Peruvians. This period later inspired his novel Conversation in the Cathedral, published in 1969.
