The Feast of the Goat
Llosa Mario Vargas
'The Feast of
the Goat will stand out as the great emblematic novel of Latin America's
twentieth century and removes One Hundred Years of Solitude of that title.'
Times Literary Supplement
Urania Cabral, a
New York lawyer, returns to the Dominican Republic after a lifelong
self-imposed exile. Once she is back in her homeland, the elusive feeling of
terror that has overshadowed her whole life suddenly takes shape. Urania's own
story alternates with the powerful climax of dictator Rafael Trujillo's reign.
In 1961,
Trujillo's decadent inner circle (which includes Urania's soon-to-be disgraced
father) enjoys the luxuries of privilege while the rest of the nation lives in
fear and deprivation. As Trujillo clings to power, a plot to push the Dominican
Republic into the future is being formed. But after the murder of its hated
dictator, the Goat, is carried out, the Dominican Republic is plunged into the nightmare
of a bloody and uncertain aftermath. Now, thirty years later, Urania reveals
how her own family was fatally wounded by the forces of history. In The Feast
of the Goat, Mario Vargas Llosa eloquently explores the effects of power and
violence on the lives of both the oppressors and those they victimized.

Julia i piskaralo, Don
Rigobertove bilježnice, Jarčeva fešta, te Avanture
nevaljale djevojčice. Godine 2010. dobio je Nobelovu nagradu za književnost „zbog kartografski
