Obtaining Nobel Prize for Literature by the Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa (Arequipa, 1936) fills us with infinite pride, but must be assessed from its real magnitude. Considered as a success would be wrong crowd, excessive and not credible. In part because of the enormous talent of the writer (forged base of sacrifice and dedication) is not because the Peruvian heritage-wise, we were able to preserve over time. And above all, for a literary award is a personal achievement, recognition of talent and intellectual and aesthetic merits of a single individual. Thus it is not the triumph a country or region. It is, in any case, as the writer himself noted from the Instituto Cervantes in Manhattan, a triumph of the English language. Therefore, all Hispanic Americans live in some way linked to the literary, intellectual and / or artistic, and we strive to raise the world for the sake of preservation of the human condition, we should feel proud that an author (from the likes of Vargas Llosa) finally join this window universal literary letters. And in this specific case, we, as readers of Vargas Llosa, we able to appreciate not only his work but also the undisputed leader for democracy and social freedoms, have a responsibility to build a new path where the future citizens of our people can walk without tripping and proper directionality.
is preferable not to embrace this exciting profession, such as literature, mind if we, as a single goal, the unpardonable: vice for prizes, fame and ambition for recognition at any price. It goes without saying that those who think this way and delivered easily to your ego boasting hallucinations granted, not ever enjoy the real good that a writer can boast: the demonstration of affection, the discovery of human diaphanous. Is what Vargas Llosa knew from a young age and learned to stay the course trivial undisturbed. We were the ones that protested the unfair final adjournment of the Swedish Academy to the author of The Green House. The writer then did not need any promotion or advertising, it was because the owner of a celebrity wandering and a few others would have. But nobody gave him anything to Vargas Llosa, everything was the result of his perseverance and fortitude, his vocation as a thinker and idealist genuine perseverance.
The Nobel Prize in Literature is but the crowning of a career highlighted by success. Mario Vargas Llosa is a true paradigm for young writers. Its now falls under like a whip in the most shameful ignorance of the governing authorities and delays, systematically, education, art and cultural expressions of our peoples. It is clear that the system suits a lot of mediocrity, to manipulate at will to the homeless (not always deserve another lucky, irresponsible) so you can perpetuate itself. Our political class (always with notable exceptions) stinks. And then of what use is the natural wealth of our country, if what we lack now is more of a share of human and intellectual wealth to fight poverty and underdevelopment.
Let us not ever forget that we are solely responsible for our destiny as a nation. We do not complain after being relegated, humiliated or abolished. Because the story many times we detonated on the face. It reminds us that for twenty years we have had as president of one of the most illustrious men of the planet, and we prefer barbarism, mediocrity and the cynicism of a man who is now in jail.
