«La casa verde» is the novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Alfaguara in its definitive paperback edition (528 pages, in Spanish).
The action alternates between Piura, on the coastal desert, and Santa María de Nieva, a mission in the Amazon. Don Anselmo founds the Green House, a house of pleasure that marks the town, while the Amazonian mission experiences exploitation and cultural clash. With overlapping voices and times, the novel portrays Peruvian violence and contradictions.
Originally published in 1966, it won in 1967 the Rómulo Gallegos International Novel Prize and the Prize of the Critics for Spanish Narrative; it belongs to the Biblioteca Vargas Llosa collection.
Aimed at the general public and readers of Latin American narrative interested in Vargas Llosa's work.
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".
