THE TIME OF THE HERO
by LLOSA, Mario Vargas
- Used
New York City; Grove Press, 1966 First Edition. Hardcover. 409 pp. Near Fine. 8vo-over 7 3/4. The author's debut novel. One of the most sensational literary debuts of the Latin-American Boom, it is now considered a late-modern classic. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in an extremely small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now very rare. The original title in Spanish is "La Ciudad y Los Perros" ("The City And Its Dogs"), a brutal and scathing title that in the absence of context, could also be taken literally and thereby misunderstood. This title caused a scandal in his native Peru (a thousand copies were burnt at the military academy in Lima which is the book's setting). Yet Llosa was also awarded the Biblioteca Breve Prize for the best new work of fiction in the Spanish language. Vargas Llosa's novel incorporates penetrating insights about war, love, fraternity, and humanity yet is deeply rooted in Peruvian time and place. Mario Vargas Llosa is the writer/intellectual/philosopher par excellence among the Latin-American geniuses of the so-called Boom: He considers himself an heir to the great European cultural tradition yet his work is firmly grounded in Latin America's (not just his native Peru's) history and mythology. His aesthetics and literary practice - Vargas Llosa has embraced and appropriated every literary genre - prompted Roberto Bolano, his greatest successor, to consider him an inescapable influence, among a handful of others, on contemporary Latin-American literature. That is to say, to be a Latin-American writer is to become a Classical master of language and a Modernist artist, writing in language of the highest quality and reinventing literary form and convention at the same time. "He has helped evolve the art of the narration" (Nobel Prize Committee). "Literature shouldn't be secluded, provincial, or regional. It should be universal even if it has deep roots in one place" (Mario Vargas Llosa). An absolute "must-have" title for Mario Vargas Llosa collectors. elf, not on a tipped-in page or bookplate. This title has been out-of-print as a hardcover for almost fifty years and is now highly collectible. Among "Boom" writers, Mario Vargas Llosa has been grossly under-valued for the longest time. The collectible value of his books will not only keep, but keep going up. Winner of the Cervantes Prize, awarded to the greatest living writers in Spanish by the Spanish Government, in 1994. Winner of the Jerusalem Prize in 1995. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2010. One of the greatest living writers. A fine collectible copy.
