«Una novela que penetra en el corazón de Latinoamérica». —The Washington Post
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Set in a remote mountain town, Lituma in the Andes begins as a detective novel about the disappearance of three locals. Corporal Lituma and his assistant Tomás suspect the Shining Path, the guerrilla organization that has been sowing terror in Peru. But the intrigue takes on unexpected overtones when cruel ancestral practices are discovered in the area, and the narrative gains dimensions as the investigations alternate with the intimate memories of the protagonists. With a virtuous handling of plot, psychology and genres, Mario Vargas Llosa offers a profound meditation on Peruvian society and its historical ills.
