LA NUEVA NOVELA DE MARIO VARGAS LLOSA, PREMIO NOBEL DE LITERATURA

Una historia de conspiraciones polÃticas e intereses encontrados durante la Guerra FrÃa. Una mentira que pasÃ³ por verdad y cambiÃ³ el devenir de AmÃ©rica Latina.

Â«Â¿Era la historia esa fantÃ¡stica tergiversaciÃ³n de la realidad?Â»

Guatemala, 1954. El golpe militar perpetrado por Carlos Castillo Armas y auspiciado por Estados Unidos a travÃ©s de la CIA derroca el gobierno de Jacobo Ãrbenz. DetrÃ¡s de este acto violento se encuentra una mentira que pasÃ³ por verdad y que cambiÃ³ el devenir de AmÃ©rica Latina: la acusaciÃ³n por parte del gobierno de Eisenhower de que Ãrbenz alentaba la entrada del comunismo soviÃ©tico en el continente. Tiempos recios es una historia de conspiraciones internacionales e intereses encontrados, en los aÃ±os de la Guerra FrÃa, cuyos ecos resuenan hasta la actualidad. Una historia que involucrÃ³ a varios paÃses y en la que algunos verdugos acabaron convirtiÃ©ndose en vÃctimas de la misma trama que habÃan ayudado a construir.
Â
En esta novela apasionante, que conecta con la aclamada La Fiesta del Chivo, Mario Vargas Llosa funde la realidad con dos ficciones: la del narrador que libremente recrea personajes y situaciones, y la diseÃ±ada por aquellos que quisieron controlar la polÃtica y la economÃa de un continente manipulando su historia.
Â
En palabras de Pilar Reyes, directora de la DivisiÃ³n Literaria de Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, Â«Tiempos recios es una de las grandes novelas de Mario Vargas Llosa, y su publicaciÃ³n generarÃ¡ una profunda conversaciÃ³n en torno a los juegos de poder entre Estados Unidos y AmÃ©rica Latina. Un libro importante que Alfaguara se enorgullece de publicar.Â»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Â
Guatemala, 1954. The military coup perpetrated by Carlos Castillo Armas and supported by the United States via the CIA topples the government of Jacobo Ãrbenz. Behind this violent act is a lie passed off as the truth, which changed the development of Latin America: the accusation by Eisenhowerâ€™s government that Ãrbenz encouraged the spread of Soviet communism in the Americas. Fierce Times is a story of international conspiracies and conflicting interests in the time of the Cold War, the echoes of which are still felt today. A story involving several countries, in which some persecutors end up as victims of the very plot they helped construct.
Â
In this thrilling novel, which is connected to the acclaimed La Fiesta del Chivo (The Feast of the Goat), Mario Vargas Llosa fuses reality with two fictions: that of the narrator who freely recreates characters and situations, and the one designed by those who would control the politics and the economy of a continent by manipulating its history.
Â
In the words of Pilar Reyes, director of the Literary Division of Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, â€œTiempos recios (Fierce Times) is one of Mario Vargas Llosaâ€™s great novels, and its publication will spark a profound conversation about the power games between the United States and Latin America. An important book that Alfaguara is proud to publish.â€
