Product Information
El autor más prestigioso de la literatura actual en español regresa con una novela ambientada en su Perú natal. Le dedico mi silencio narra la historia de un hombre que soñó un país unido por la música, y enloqueció queriendo escribir un libro perfecto que lo contara. &la"El vals, nacido en los callejones de Lima, integró al Perú. Aquí cuento esa historia, y con ella agradezco un secreto amor que me ha acompañado toda la vida: el que siento por la música criolla y, en especial, por el vals de mi país . - Mario Vargas Llosa Toño Azpilcueta, experto en música criolla, descubre a un guitarrista virtuoso, Lalo Molfino, cuyo talento parece confirmar todas sus intuiciones: el amor profundo que siente por los valses, marineras, polkas y huaynos peruanos tiene una justificación social. Tal vez lo que ocurra es que la música criolla sea, en realidad, no sólo una seña de identidad de todo un país y expresión de esa actitud tan peruana de la huachafería (&la"la mayor contribución de Perú a la cultural universal , según Toño Azpilcueta), sino algo mucho más importante: un elemento capaz de provocar una revolución social, de derribar prejuicios y barreras raciales para unir al país entero en un abrazo fraterno y mestizo. En un país fracturado y asolado por la violencia de Sendero Luminoso (la novela transcurre a principios de la década de los noventa, en plena ofensiva terrorista), la música podría ser aquello que recuerde a todos los que conforman la sociedad que, por encima de cualquier otra cosa, son hermanos y compatriotas. Y en esto, es posible que el virtuosismo de Lalo Molfino tenga mucho que ver. Toño Azpilcueta decide investigar más sobre este guitarrista, viajar a su lugar de origen, conocer a este personaje esquivo, saber de su historia, de su familia y amores, de cómo llegó a convertirse en un músico tan excelso. Y se propone también escribir un libro donde contar la historia de la música criolla y desarrollar esa idea que ha inoculado en su mente el descubrimiento de este músico extraordinario. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The most prestigious author in Spanish literature today returns with a novel set in his native Peru. I Give You My Silence is the story of a man who dreamed of a country united by music and went mad trying to write the perfect book to tell it. "The waltz, born in the alleyways of Lima, integrated Peru. Here I tell this story, and with it I thank a secret love that has been with me my entire life: the love I feel for Creole music, specially, for my country's waltz." --Mario Vargas Llosa Toño Azpilcueta, Creole music expert, discovers a guitar virtuoso, Lalo Molfino, whose talent seems to confirm every instinct: his profound love for Peruvian waltzes, marineras, polkas, and huaynos has social grounds. Maybe what happens is that Creole music is in fact not just a symbol of an entire country's identity and the expression of a very Peruvian attitude, huachaferia ("Peru's greatest contribution to universal culture," according to Toño Azpilcueta), but something of far greater importance, an element capable of igniting a social revolution, of tearing down prejudices and social barriers to unite a country in one brotherly, mixed-race hug. In a country fractured and devastated by Sendero Luminoso's violence (the novel is set at the beginning of the nineteen-nineties, at the height of the terrorist campaign, ) music could remind society at large that they are brothers and sisters, and fellow countryfolk. And it is possible that Lalo Molfino's virtuosity has much to do with this. Toño Azpilcueta is set to investigate more about this guitar player, go to his birthplace, get to know this elusive character, learn his personal history, his family history, and his love stories, how he became such a magnificent musician. And he is also determined to write a book about Creole music and develop the idea inoculated in his mind after finding this extraordinary musician.

Reviews
«La escritura de Mario Vargas Llosa ha dado forma a nuestra imagen de Sudamérica y tiene su propio capítulo en la historia de la literatura contemporánea. En sus primeros años, fue un renovador de la novela, hoy, un poeta épico». - Per Wästberg, presidente del Comité Nobel «Sus libros contienen la más compleja, apasionada y persuasiva visión de la novela y del oficio de novelista de la que tengo noticia; también contienen el mejor estímulo que un novelista puede encontrar para escribir, un estímulo solo inferior al que contienen las propias novelas de Vargas Llosa». - Javier Cercas, El País «Entre nuestros contemporáneos, nadie mejor que el premio Nobel de 2010 ha sido capaz de seducir amablemente a una gran masa de lectores contándoles historias llenas de sentido con una prosa tan bella como eficaz. Y con un dominio de las estrategias narrativas que la evolución de la literatura del siglo xx instrumentó para superar la manera de hacer novela en el siglo anterior». - Darío Villanueva

Items arrived on time, but was packaged in a flimsy mailer - not secure. 2 items also arrived with damage not listed in the seller description, so they were not in the "brand new" or "perfect" condition listed. Would caution others when buying from this seller.

Bad experience with the seller: no real communication from the seller. *However*, this book at least arrived --- unlike 1 (of the 3) I ordered in this bundled order. This book was part of a combined order of 3 books from this seller with the *same* tracking number listed for all three books. The book did arrive quickly and in great condition despite being packaged (spines out) in a thin paper-type mailer with some of the individual pages interlocking with the other book that arrived with it.
