MARIO VARGAS LLOSA


Mario Vargas Llosa is a peruvian writer, politician and journalist. he was born in arequipa, peru in 1936. He also worked as a professor in  Princeton University. He was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature ``for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant of the individual's resistance, revolt and defeat´´.  Vargas Llosa rose to fame in the 1960s with nobels such as ``The Time Of The Hero´´, literally ``The city and the dogs´´, ``The green house´´ and the monumental ``Conversation in the cathedral´´. Like many Latin American authors, Vargas Llosa has been politically active throughout his career; over the course of his life, he has gradually moved from the political left towards the right. Because of his political position he has been a polemical person.We have choosed this person because we thought that his life is interesting.
Many of Vargas Llosa's works are influenced by the writer's perception of Peruvian society and his own experiences as a native Peruvian. Increasingly, however, he has expanded his range, and tackled themes that arise from other parts of the world. Another change over the course of his career has been a shift from a style and approach associated with literary modernism, to a sometimes playful postmodernism.
