The goat's party

Mario Vargas Llosa, novelist born in Peru in 1936, and rose in the world of literature after publishing his first novel "The City and the Dogs" which received many awards including the "Biblioteca Brevi" Award in 1962 and the "Critics" Award in 1963, and translated into more than twenty foreign languages, and his works continued, and the awards he received multiplied, and the last of which was in 1944 when he received the "Servantes" Award for Literature, which is considered the most important award for Spanish-speaking literature. In his novel "The Goat Party," the novelist "Mario Vargas Llosa," with much fun and the flavor that characterizes his Romani language style, recalls a dark historical phase in the life of the small "Dominican" Republic where he presents a model of the "inspirational historical leader" Trujillo, who brought his people into plagues, calamities, and horrors that surpass the pen's ability to record. Mario Vargas was able to depict a terrifying image of that tyrant, relying on his deep novelist sense and his artistic literary experience, in exploring a difficult historical and political period that the novel "The Goat Party" could not fully address. There is a deep and precise description of the characters' inner worlds, their feelings, and the states of panic and terror that seize them, as well as an enchanting description of streets, houses, gardens, roads, and scents, and the blue of the sea, all through a visual perspective that leaves nothing but finds a place in the novel of restless spirits seeking peace amid the troubled and anxious terrains of that republic. They converse in fear, live in fear, and die in fear... but ultimately, they overcome this complex, and kill the tyrant, bravely this time, after more than three decades.
