LLOSA - NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE
Vargas Llosa / Nobel Prize
The beauty is born of indignation Vargas Llosa / Nobel Prize
The author of the Hero wrote against oppression, bigotry, injustice and corruption, evils, transfigured, gave rise to the best of literature for The Nation
Sunday October 10, 2010 the world, fanaticism, racial identity in the remarkable and little read book of essays The archaic utopia, the unfortunate history of guerrilla utopianism Mayta and, of course, the authoritarian caudillo Trujillo, that paradigm of Latin American dictator in the party of the Goat. But it is not-never-comes of a literature thesis. This is the highest artistic recreation of those extremes of evil and misery, written to reveal, to fight, to exorcise them.
The playful side, erotic literature, that makes laugh, enjoy and blush for women and men in all languages, it seems like an oasis of freedom and Vargas Llosa game needs to replenish the soul after the tremendous effort of those libertarian novels. In these novels his other demons escape, dreams and amorous dreams.
Vargas Llosa is the opposite of a writer "conservative." It is a liberal intellectual, and it is time that, given the powerful currents of intolerance that persist in Latin America, definitely vindicate the historical legitimacy of democratic liberalism. This project liberal civilizing project par excellence, who founded our nation and is the same as Vargas Llosa plays in his life and work. Faced with the authoritarian, liberal soul makes no distinction. Vargas Llosa, it is true, believed in the Cuban revolution and accompanied at least a decade because he believed in his destiny release, but had the courage to depart from it when he noticed its irreversible path of totalitarianism. And with the same substance and conviction has criticized the military dictators and corrupt governments. Do you have to remember that it was he who named the PRI as the "perfect dictatorship"? And dictators than any novel in its combination of radical literary excellence and moral criticism, his portrayal of the Trujillo regime.
Vargas Llosa has not only stood up for freedom in his novels. Also in his fortnightly column in The Country and Reformation, and in his essays in the magazine Vuelta and Letras Libres. As an essayist and reporter looks like a young soldier freedom. Often gets the lion's den (Baghdad, Gaza, Congo, Haiti, Darfur) and has never been afraid to be unpopular. The voice that counts for him is the inner voice, the imperative of truth.
His victory is also the Peruvian literature. The tragic, profound and varied country of the Inca Garcilaso, Guaman Poma de Ayala, and Vallejo Mariátegui has finally deserves the Nobel. And also won the English language. After Cela and Octavio Paz, spent twenty years. The Nobel (as almost everyone knows) was denied to Borges, and seemed closed to Vargas Llosa. The award, the Academy is honored and honored, regaining the level of the best winners. The
Award comes at the best time for Latin America. Warlordism, militarism, the Redeemer ideology, populism, nationalism obtuse, fanaticism of race or religion are still present in our countries, but for the last twenty years the progress of democracy has been permanent. Vargas Llosa has been, after Octavio Paz, its staunchest defender.
Nobel Prize Mario Vargas Llosa is an act of justice and liberty literature. Two words inseparable. © THE NATION
