本书是诺贝文学奖得主略萨的早期短篇小说代表作。

这些小说的背景多为略萨少年时代就读于军事学校时期遭遇的人与事。其中《挑战》获当时《法兰西杂志》举办的秘鲁短篇小说比赛奖,为他赢得了免费去巴黎旅游的奖励,实现了他年少时的一个文学梦,也见证了略萨在文学创作上的天分和能力。本书也充分展示了数年后蜚声国际的《城市与狗》中略萨代表性的创作风格:巧妙的结构、实感和形象感、音乐性以及散文诗般凝练流畅而朴素亲切的对话,呈现了“个人的声音”与“集体的声音”合奏的复调结构,展示了作者高超的写作技巧和远大的文学抱负。

Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquess of Vargas Llosa, more commonly known as Mario Vargas Llosa, was a Peruvian novelist, journalist, essayist, and politician. Vargas Llosa was one of the Spanish language and Latin America's most significant novelists and essayists and one of the leading writers of his generation. Some critics consider him to have had a more substantial international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom. In 2010, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature "for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat".
Vargas Llosa rose to international fame in the 1960s with novels such as The Time of the Hero (La ciudad y los perros, 1963/1966), The Green House (La casa verde, 1965/1968), and the monumental Conversation in The Cathedral (Conversación en La Catedral, 1969/1975). He wrote prolifically across various literary genres, including literary criticism and journalism. His novels include comedies, murder mysteries, historical novels, and political thrillers. He won the 1967 Rómulo Gallegos Prize and the 1986 Prince of Asturias Award. Several of his works have been adopted as feature films, such as Captain Pantoja and the Special Service (1973/1978) and Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter (1977/1982). Vargas Llosa's perception of Peruvian society and his experiences as a native Peruvian influenced many of his works. Increasingly, he expanded his range and tackled themes from other parts of the world. In his essays, Vargas Llosa criticized nationalism in different parts of the world.
Like many Latin American writers, Vargas Llosa was politically active. While he initially supported the Cuban revolutionary government of Fidel Castro, Vargas Llosa later became disenchanted with its policies, particularly after the imprisonment of Cuban poet Heberto Padilla in 1971, and later identified as a liberal and held anti-left-wing ideas. He ran for the presidency of Peru in 1990 with the center-right Frente Democrático coalition, advocating for liberal reforms, but lost the election to Alberto Fujimori in a landslide.
Vargas Llosa continued his literary career while advocating for right-wing activists and candidates internationally following his exit from direct participation in Peruvian politics. He was awarded the 1994 Miguel de Cervantes Prize, the 1995 Jerusalem Prize, the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature, the 2012 Carlos Fuentes International Prize, and the 2018 Pablo Neruda Order of Artistic and Cultural Merit. In 2011, Vargas Llosa was made the Marquess of Vargas Llosa by Spanish king Juan Carlos I. In 2021, he was elected to the Académie française.

读的第一本略萨,文字之间的电影感确实很明显,尤其在场景切换时很突出,仿佛在看一部细节详尽、再现秘鲁人生活的电影。问题是1.作者笔力尚未成熟,比较喜欢的是《崽儿们》,其他篇有点太空泛,特别是《祖父》2.翻译问题,暂且不说和原文对应的问题,貌似有的地方是一个名词术语对应两个中文音译,编辑到底有没有看过这本书3.可能我太不了解秘鲁历史或种种,看起来有点跳脱
