1st ODI on Mario Vargas Llosa

1st ODI on Mario Vargas Llosa  

SEM 3

Mario Vargas Llosa was born in 1936 in Arequipa, Peru’s second largest city. During his childhood in Cochabamba, Bolivia, and Piura, a city in the north of Peru, he believed that his father had died. However, this was a lie told by his mother to conceal their tortuous separation. The truth emerged when, in 1946, his father appeared unexpectedly to take him away from his mother’s parents, moving with him and his mother to Lima. This revelation signified an abrupt change in Vargas Llosa’s life, from the pampered upbringing of a feminine environment to the hostile treatment of anauthoritarian father. At his side, he was to discover fear, injustice and violence for the first time.

Here, I am attaching the link of His interview and from that I try to Identist three best ideas which like the most... 

1......
"If you respect literature you must accept not only the very idealist, altruist vision of human beings but also the infernal vision of them." 


Absolutely, that is a very good definition. #History and literature are faces of a coin. They are so close, and in many cases, the literary version of a historical part prevails over a historian’s account. 

 2....
History and literature are faces of a coin. They are so close, and in many cases, the literary version of a historical part prevails over a historian’s account. For example, we believe Tolstoy is absolutely right when describing the Napoleonic wars in literature. Probably historians are more accurate, but it doesn’t matter. The way literature impregnates the imagination is what matters.
I like literature that is still very close to living experiences. I don’t like very much the idea of the writer completely isolated, secluded in a library. I can read and enjoy these writers, like Jorge Luis Borges, for example, but I don’t want to be this kind of writer.
All writers are autobiographical. In some writers, this is more explicit and obvious, in others more hidden. But I don’t think you invent anything out of nothing. The main point of departure is always the personal memory of actual experience.

3.. and last when
WorldPost: asks this ..That seems part and parcel of a kind of cultural revolution going on today with the #MeToo movement. Do you empathize with that?


Vargas Llosa: replays above... Of course, I think it is right to denounce abuses against women. These abuses are everywhere, so I have total sympathy for this movement as far as it is for more justice, more democracy, more equality of opportunities for women and men.
But feminism now has a kind of problem. It has become very sectarian, very dogmatic, and I think you have to criticize and oppose these trends. For example, recently we have had a big debate in Spain when a group of feminists attacked Nabokov’s “Lolita,” which I think is one of the greatest 20th century novels. They attacked it because they claim the main character is a pedophile. With this criterion, literature will disappear. It is grotesque! If you respect literature you must accept not only the very idealist, altruist vision of human beings but also the infernal vision of them.

so,  this are the viwes ( ideas) which i liked the most .....
