En este libro Mario Vargas Llosa nos descubre el poder de la palabra, la pasión sutil y abstracta de Tirant lo Blanc , considerada por él como una de las novelas más ambiciosas y modernas de entre las clásicas. «Entre los muchos atributos del Tirant lo Blanc el que más admiro es su ambición. Esa voluntad deicida de recrearlo todo, de contarlo todo, desde lo más infinitamente pequeño hasta lo más desmesuradamente grande que la mirada, la imaginación y el deseo de los humanos pueda abarcar.» Mario Vargas Llosa Estos tres ensayos nacen de una ininterrumpida, apasionante y apasionada relación con Tirant lo Blanc. El primero aborda la idea de la novela total, anunciada quinientos años antes en este libro de caballerí «Es la novela total. Novela de caballerías fantástica, histórica, social, erótica, psicoló todas esas cosas a la vez y ninguna de ellas exclusivamente». El segundo ofrece una imagen más personal de Joan Martorell a través de sus cartas. El tercero defiende la importancia de «las palabras» en la obra. Tres ensayos que nos acercan al crítico literario, de fino e inteligente análisis, al novelista que mira a otro novelista y se contempla en él, pero sobre todo es la apasionada entrega de un lector que se define como el «más fiel valedor» de este clásico de la literatura universal.

Author
Mario Vargas Llosa, born in Peru in 1936, is the author of some of the most significant writing to come out of South America in the past fifty years. His novels include The Green House, about a brothel in a Peruvian town that brings together the innocent and the corrupt; The Feast of the Goat, a vivid re-creation of the Dominican Republic during the final days of General Rafael Trujillo’s insidious regime; and Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter, a comedic semi-autobiographical account of an aspiring writer named Marito Varguitas, who falls in love with Julia, the divorced sister-in-law of his Uncle Lucho. He is also a widely read and respected essayist, writing everything from newspaper opinion pieces to critical works on other writers, including The Perpetual Orgy on Flaubert. Vargas Llosa is also active outside the literary arena, and was a serious contender for the presidency of Peru in 1990 (eventually losing to the now disgraced Alberto Fujimori), an experience he documented in his memoir, A Fish in the Water. On the controversial nature of some of his work he said, “The writer’s job is to write with rigor, with commitment, to defend what they believe with all the talent they have. I think that’s part of the moral obligation of a writer, which cannot be only purely artistic. I think a writer has some kind of responsibility at least to participate in the civic debate. I think literature is impoverished, if it becomes cut from the main agenda of people, of society, of life.” He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for the year 2010, "for his cartography of structures of power & his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat". http://us.macmillan.com/author/mariov...
