It brings together articles published by Mario Vargas Llosa in his column «Piedra de Toque» in the newspaper El País between 1992 and 2000, with analyses of fin-de-siècle society: the decriminalization of abortion, emigration, Latin American democracy and the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela.

For readers of essays and non-fiction, and for those who want to approach Vargas Llosa's view of fin-de-siècle society.
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".
