«El Perú es para mí una especie de enfermedad incurable y mi relación con él es intensa, áspera, llena de la violencia que caracteriza a la pasión».

Las más de cinco décadas durante las que se ha desarrollado la labor periodística de Mario Vargas Llosa están jalonadas de textos imprescindibles sobre la cultura, la política, la historia y la realidad social de Perú cuya lectura en este volumen revela al lector la profunda vinculación del Premio Nobel de Literatura con su país natal.

«Éste es el Perú de Mario Vargas Llosa, el que recorrió, vivió y vio evolucionar social, cultural y políticamente. El país en el que se inspiró para escribir sus novelas, el que incubó sus demonios literarios y el que despertó su inconformismo y su curiosidad intelectual. Éste es el Perú en el que proyectó sus ilusiones y con el que se enfrascó en más de una escaramuza; la sociedad que quiso transformar desde la acción política y que finalmente ayudó a moldear desde el debate público. Si como novelista Vargas Llosa logró fijar una imagen del Perú que hoy es mundialmente reconocida --una imagen ficticia, mítica, que sin embargo resume de manera fiel los conflictos, dilemas, frustraciones y anhelos de la vida peruana--, como intelectual logró contagiar a la sociedad con sus preocupaciones, ideas, gustos y valores. No es exagerado decir que la conversación publica en el Perú actual es la que es, en gran medida, porque a lo largo del último medio siglo Vargas Llosa ha publicado determinados artículos y determinados ensayos, y porque con ellos logró abrir debates económicos, morales, ideológicos y estéticos de enorme impacto en los distintos ámbitos de la vida peruana».

Del prólogo de Carlos Granés

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Peru is to me a sort of incurable disease, and my relationship with it is intense, rough, full of the characteristic violence in passion."

The more than five decades during which Mario Vargas Llosa's journalistic work has been developing are dotted by essential works on culture, politics, history, and Peru's social reality, and in this volume, he reveals to the reader the deep bond the Nobel Prize winner has with his native country.

"This is Mario Vargas Llosa's Peru, the one he traveled, lived, and watched evolve socially, culturally, and politically. The country that inspired him to write his novels, the one that incubated his literary demons, and the one that sparked his nonconformity and his intellectual curiosity. This is the Peru where Vargas Llosa cast his illusions, and the one he skirmished with more than once; the society he wanted to transform through political action and which he finally got to mold through public debate. If, as a novelist, Vargas Llosa managed to set an image of Peru today that is known worldwide--a fictitious, mythical image, that nevertheless faithfully summarizes the conflicts, dilemmas, frustrations, and yearnings of Peruvian life--as an intellectual he managed to spread his concerns, ideas, tastes, and values through society. It is no exaggeration to say that public dialogue in current Peru largely is what it is because Vargas Llosa has been publishing certain articles and certain essays for the last half a century, and because through them he managed to open financial, moral, ideological, and artistic debates of great impact in the different spheres of Peruvian life."

From the prologue by Carlos Granés.

key fragrance missing in product
Scent: Sandalwood, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I couldn't discern any sandalwood scent in the Sandalwood body lotion whatsoever. The ingredients list "fragrance" which makes it unlikely there is any actual sandalwood essential oil in it. In fact the list of chemicals in the ingredients is impressive. I could only recognize shea butter, water, and glycerin.

If you have sensitive skin and dont want premium prices, Cremo’s body wash is an excellent option A+
Scent: Palo Santo, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Palo Santo, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Cremo’s body wash for men has become a staple in our household. The product exudes a luxurious feel, from the rich lather to the clean, long-lasting scent that genuinely resembles a more expensive fragrance. This body wash possesses a pleasant aroma of cardamom, papyrus, and most notably, palo santo. It features a warm, woody, and spicy scent, which is one of my preferred fragrance notes. Notably, the scent is strong without being overpowering. Additionally, I appreciate the aesthetic appeal of the bottle. The exquisite and vintage-inspired packaging complements the fragrance effectively. What truly sets Cremo’s body wash apart is its gentle nature. I have sensitive skin and this body wash does not cause dryness or irritation. In fact, it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth, which is not always the case with other brands I have tried. The affordability of Cremo’s body wash is a significant advantage. It offers a high-end feel and fragrance without incurring excessive costs, making it an easy choice for repeat purchases. If you or your family have sensitive skin or simply desire a pleasant scent without paying premium prices, Cremo’s body wash is an excellent option. Highly Recommended. 5/5 Stars.

Beat the Humidity with This Citrus Powerhouse
Scent: Bergamot, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
​In the middle of a brutal, humid Philippine summer, finding a body wash that actually boosts your confidence is a game-changer. Cremo’s Italian Bergamot isn’t just a soap; it’s a full olfactory experience. It opens with a vibrant, tart Italian bergamot that immediately cuts through the heat, followed by the freshness of vetiver, and the neroli blossom adds a sophisticated floral touch. ​True to Cremo’s Reserve collection, the scent is beautifully layered. It builds in intensity as you lather, allowing the earthy, fresh vetiver to anchor the citrus. Unlike many drugstore options, this lingers—stepping out of the shower, you can still catch the crisp citrus and the clean, woody dry-down on your skin. It’s the ultimate reset for a hot day.
