Synopsis "Los Jefes / los Cachorros (in Spanish)"

Mario Vargas Llosa crea en¿Quién mató a Palomino Molero? una intensa novela policial donde el suspense y la tensión recorren toda la historia. En un escenario dominado por la corrupción, y donde los prejuicios y desigualdades conforman la realidad social del país, la verdad acaba convertida en verdades diversas que se c onfunden la una con la otra en un alucinante juego de espejos. A través de una atmósfera que deslumbra y atrapa, este libro refleja fielmente el clima de una época y denuncia los excesos del poder.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONMario Vargas Llosa creates an intensely woven detective story where tension and suspense travel through history. In a stage dominated by corruption, where prejudice and disparity constitute a country's social reality, truth becomes a confusing array of images in a hallucinatory game of mirrors. Through an ambiance that dazzles and captures the attention, this novel is a faithful reflection of the character of an era and a denunciation of the excesses of power."I wrote¿Quien mato a Palomino Molero? in outrage after the murder of a young airman from Talara's military base was red taped by the administration."

Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa (Arequipa, March 28, 1936), known as Mario Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquis of Vargas Llosa, is a Peruvian writer who also holds Spanish nationality since 1993 and Dominican nationality since June 2022. Considered one of the most important contemporary novelists and essayists, his works have received numerous awards, including the Nobel Prize in Literature 2010, the Cervantes Prize 1994 —considered the most important in the Spanish language—, the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature 1986, the Biblioteca Breve Prize 1962, the Rómulo Gallegos Prize 1967, and the Planeta Prize 1993, among others. Alongside Gabriel García Márquez, Julio Cortázar, and Carlos Fuentes, he is one of the central figures of the Latin American boom

He rose to fame in the 1960s with novels such as The Time of the Hero (1963), The Green House (1966), and Conversation in the Cathedral (1969). He continued to prolifically cultivate various literary genres, such as essays, articles, and theater. Several of his works have been adapted into films and television. Most of his novels are set in Peru and explore his views on Peruvian society; however, in The War of the End of the World (1981), The Feast of the Goat (2000), and The Dream of the Celt (2010) he sets his plots in other countries.
