The writer coming from Arequipa, Perú, won the Nobel prize for literature this 2010. In his own words, he feels very surprised for the prize, in fact, he say that thought that when he was called are a joke.
Now, I'm going to tell a bit about this important man of letters. The first work in the literary field is for a Lima newspaper called "La Crónica" when he has only 15 years, here show his talent for the letters. He write many obras, like "Conversación in la Catedral", where Vargas Llosa, related the underworld Peruvian in this time, detailing a critic vision about his own country specially in the dictatorship topic.
In his life, he has two wifes, two nacionalities and a big and famous friend, Gabriel García Márquez, but after a brawl his friendship has broken, but no only had books in his life, Mario Vargas Llosa try to be a president for his country but lose against Alberto Fujimori in a campaign that he describes like "dirty", after it, he go to Spain and take this citizenship.
In the book, "La fiesta del chivo" (2002), the took the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo in Dominican Republic. This is the important for this autor his don't have border limits and tell us about historical facts in different places of the continent he show us a X-ray of Latin America.
