La guerra del fin del mundo

At the end of the 19th century in the poverty-stricken northeast of Brazil an insurrection is simmering. As in all extreme situations, this insurrection that can only come from religious belief of the divine calling to all those who are marginalized, and the radical shattering of the rules that govern the world of the powerful. The first novel Vargas Llosa set outside Peru wondrously expresses the profound thoughts, irrational passions and unbridled social forces.
