Vargas Llosa en el Instituto Cervantes de Dublín
Literary evening with Mario Vargas Llosa
discussion
Nobel Prize in Literature 2010, Cervantes Award 1994, Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras Award 1986… three examples of the many awards that Mario Vargas Llosa has received during his writing career. He is one of the most significant contemporary novelists and essayists. Instituto Cervantes Dublin is proud to invite you to a conversation with this outstanding author and the Spanish writer Juan Cruz.
Mario Vargas Llosa: born in 1936 in Arequipa (Peru). He travelled to Spain in 1959 thanks to a bursary to complete a doctorate by the Complutense University of Madrid where he was awarded a Doctorate in Philosopy and Literature. On the same year, he published his first work, Los jefes (The leaders), a compilation of stories. He was awarded the Leopoldo Arias prize for this piece. It is not, however, until the 60´s when he published three of the works that launched him to fame: La ciudad y los Perros (The City and the Dogs) in 1962, La casa verde (The Green House) in 1965 and Conversación en La Catedral (Conversation in the Cathedral) in 1969. Following a period of intense political activity, he returned to writing in 1993 with his book of memoirs El pez en el agua (A Fish in the Water). The publishing company Alfaguara launched El sueño del celta in 2010. This is Vargas Llosa's latest novel where he tells the life story of a legendary man: theIrish Roger Casement, one of the first Europeans to denounce the horrors of colonialism. This novel has been translated into English and is due to be published by Faber and Faber at the beginning of June 2012 with the title The dream of the Celt.
Juan Cruz: Spanish journalist and writer who is Assistant Director at the Spanish national newspaperEl País. His first novel was published in 1972 with the title Crónica de la Nada hecha pedazos. He has participated in radio, television and in numerous conferences and courses.
