The Feast of the Goat - by Mario Vargas Llosa (Paperback)

The Feast of the Goat is a masterpiece of Latin American literature, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, that recounts the end of a regime and the birth of a terrible democracy.

Haunted by feelings of terror and emptiness, Urania Cabral returns to her native Dominican Republic and finds herself reliving the events of 1961, when Trujillo City was still ruled by the depraved ailing dictator Rafael Trujillo.

With a combination of violence and blackmail, Trujillo controls his inner circle, but his grasp is slipping as a conspiracy against him unfolds.

A harrowing and enthralling book that pushes the boundaries of the traditional historical novel, The Feast of the Goat is a must-read for anyone interested in Latin American history and politics.
