Mario Vargas Llosa (b. 1936) is a Peruvian prose writer, one of the leading innovative writers of modern Latin American literature, the author of popular novels all over the world: “The City and the Dogs”, “Captain Pantaleon and the Company of Good Offices”, “Aunt Julia and a scribbler" and many others. In the novel “The Green House,” Vargas Llosa uses a sophisticated editing technique with instantaneous switching of time and place of action, allowing one to see reality from different points of view. Reader! Before you open this book, listen to a fair warning: if you want to get into the world of wise thoughts and highly intellectual maxims, it is better not to start reading it at all. The heroes of “The Green House” are engaged in smuggling and catching turtles, commit bandit raids and escape from prisons, betray, love and kill, suffer and revel, and in this whirlpool of exciting events they seem to forget about their duty to share with us at least some deep revelations.
