Lituma en los Andes

In a remote Andean village, three men have disappeared. Peruvian Army corporal Lituma and his deputy Tomás have been dispatched to investigate, and to guard the town from the Shining Path guerrillas they assume are responsible. But the townspeople do not trust the officers, and they have their own ideas about what forces claimed the bodies of the missing men. To pass the time, and to cope with their homesickness, Tomás entertains Lituma nightly with the sensuous, surreal tale of his precarious love affair with a wayward prostitute. His stories are intermingled with the ongoing mystery of the missing men.

  • "Corporal Lituma, an officer of the Guardia Civil, is sent to a post in Naccos, the Andes. Once there, he will try to solve what happened to three missing men. His only aide is his young adjutant Carreño, a serrucho who has spent years in the lowland cities. The two are fearsomely isolated, distrusted by the villagers and the construction workers, certain that one day they will be attacked and slain by the shadowy Senderistas who have them surrounded."
  • "In a mining camp in the mountains of Peru, Lituma and Tomás live in a barbaric and hostile environment, under constant threat from the maoistic guerillas of Sendero Luminoso."

  • "En un campamento minero de las montañas del Perú, el cabo Lituma y su adjunto Tomás viven en un ambiente bárbaro y hostil, bajo la constante amenaza de los guerrilleros maoístas de Sendero Luminoso, y debatiéndose con misterios sin aclarar que los obsesionan, como ciertas desapariciones inexplicables; está también la historia íntima de estos personajes, sobre todo la de un antiguo amor de Tomás, que se va contando en forma de episodios intercalados como un contrapunto de recuerdos al drama colectivo. El aliento mítico de la narración, en la que se entrevén otras muchas siluetas enérgicamente trazadas, infunde una extraordinaria vida a realidades que se observan de un modo implacable y minucioso.--Descripción de la editorial."
  • "Auf ihrem Posten in den peruanischen Anden sitzen Korporal Lituma und sein Helfer Tomás wie in einer Falle. Unter ständiger Bedrohung durch Terrorkommandos und eine gewalttätige Natur sollen sie das mysteriöse Verschwinden dreier Menschen aufklären. Überall schlägt ihnen Misstrauen entgegen, unheimliche Geschichten dringen an ihr Ohr. Hätte Tomás nicht die brennende Erinnerung an seine abenteuerliche Liebesgeschichte mit Mercedes, von der er Lituma Nacht für Nacht erzählt, die beiden müssten eingehen in dieser feindseligen, abergläubischen Bergwelt. So abweisend das Klima und so verstörend die Bruchstücke der Wahrheit, die sie nach und nach ans Licht bringen, sie lassen nicht locker. Was in den Bergen geschah, hat die Ausmasse eines unfassbaren Dramas. Mario Vargas Llosa, geboren 1936 in Arequipa/Peru, studierte Geistes- und Rechtswissenschaften in Lima und Madrid. Bereits während seines Studiums schrieb er für verschiedene Zeitschriften und Zeitungen und veröffentlichte erste Erzählungen, ehe 1963 sein erster Roman Die Stadt und die Hundeerschien. Der peruanische Romanautor und Essayist ist stets als politischer Autor aufgetreten und ist damit auch weit über die Grenzen Perus hinaus sehr erfolgreich. Zu seinen wichtigsten Werken zählen Das grüne Haus, Das Fest des Ziegenbocks, Tante Julia und der Schreibkünstler und Das böse Mädchen. Vargas Llosa ist Ehrendoktor verschiedener amerikanischer und europäischer Universitäten und hielt Gastprofessuren unter anderem in Harvard, Princeton und Oxford. 1990 bewarb er sich als Kandidat der oppositionellen Frente Democrático (FREDEMO) bei den peruanischen Präsidentschaftswahlen und unterlag in der Stichwahl. Daraufhin zog er sich aus der aktiven Politik zurück. Neben zahlreichen anderen Auszeichnungen erhielt er 1996 den Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels und 2010 den Nobelpreis für Literatur. Heute lebt Mario Vargas Llosa in Madrid und Lima."
  • "Wanneer een lid van de Peruaanse guardia civil wordt geconfronteerd met drie mysterieuze verdwijningen, maakt zijn vermoeden dat zij gevangen zijn genomen door terroristen langzaam plaats voor een nog veel gruwelijker waarheid."
