«El héroe discreto» is the novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Alfaguara in paperback (392 pages, in Spanish).
Two parallel stories in Peru: businessman Felícito Yanaqué faces blackmail in Piura, while Ismael Carrera, owner of an insurance company in Lima, plots revenge against his idle sons. They refuse to yield to the pettiness around them; the novel combines humor, melodrama and characters already known from Vargas Llosa's universe.
«El héroe discreto» belongs to Alfaguara's Hispánica collection and was published in 2013. Mario Vargas Llosa is Nobel Prize in Literature laureate (2010).
For readers of contemporary literary fiction and for those who follow Mario Vargas Llosa's narrative.
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquess of Vargas Llosa was a Peruvian novelist, journalist, essayist, and politician. Vargas Llosa was one of the most significant Latin American novelists and essayists and one of the leading writers of his generation. 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".
