«Conversa n'A Catedral» is the Portuguese translation of the novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Dom Quixote in paperback (632 pages, in Portuguese).
The novel is set in Peru during the dictatorship of General Manuel A. Odría and offers a portrait of the moral corruption and political repression that marked the country. The story shows how that authoritarian climate conditions the lives of the characters, without resorting to a complacent view.
The work was originally published in 1969, under the title «Conversación en La Catedral». The author was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2010.
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquess of Vargas Llosa was a Peruvian novelist, journalist, essayist, and politician.

Some critics consider him to have had a more substantial international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom. In 2010, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for "his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat".
