Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
Why did Urania return to the land she swore she would never set foot on again after being away from her motherland for 35 years? Why has she been filled with fear since she was 14 years old? Why has she never visited or greeted her father? Facing her aunt's questioning, Urania slowly recounted the painful memories of more than 30 years ago, the intricate political conspiracies, and the secret that ruined her life...
Vargas Llosa uses realistic writing and a three-line narrative structure to describe Urania's recollections of the past, how Trujillo, the dictator of the Dominican Republic, starts his day, and a breathtaking assassination, revealing the mysterious relationship between dictatorship, power, corruption and sex. In 2007, "The Feast of the Ram" ranked second in the "100 Best Spanish Novels from 1982 to 2007", second only to Gabriel García Márquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera".
