Book Synopsis
Set in an isolated, rundown community in the Peruvian Andes, Vargas Llosa''s novel tells the story of a series of mysterious disappearances involving the Shining Path guerrillas and a local couple performing cannibalistic sacrifices with strange similiarities to the Dionysian rituals of ancient Greece. Part detective novel and part political allegory, it offers a panoramic view of Peruvian society; not only of the current political violence and social upheaval, but also of the country''s past and its connection to Indian culture and pre-Hispanic mysticism.
