4.0 out of 5 stars Very good collection of essays written by Vargas Llosa, January 17, 2011
This review is from: Sables y utopias /Essays by Vargas Llosa. His Vision About Latin America: Visiones de America Latina (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
The book presents a very interesting collection of essays written by Vargas Llosa about a wide range of subjects.
Chapter 1 - strong criticism of the authoritarianism present in Latin American countries;
Chapter 2 - review of the revolutions and their apex and decline;
Chapter 3 - the obstacles to the development in Latin America: nationalism, populism, indigenous tendency, corruption;
Chapter 4 - democracy and liberalism
Chapter 5 - Latin American Literature and Arts
Among the highlights, there are quotes of his strong influence from Euclides da Cunha's "Os Sertões", interviews with Latin American leaders, views of the historical evolution and development of the region, and articles dedicated to Guimarães Rosa, Gabriel García Márquez, Fernando Botero, Julio Cortázar, among others.
There is even a mention about the very recent "social network" fever!
