Odría. Over beers and a sea of freely spoken words, the conversation flows between two individuals, Santiago and Ambrosia, who talk of their tormented lives and of the overall degradation and frustration that has slowly taken over their town. Through a complicated web of secrets and historical references, Mario Vargas Llosa analyzes the mental and moral mechanisms that govern power and the people behind it. More than a historic analysis, <b>Conversation in The Cathedral</b> is a groundbreaking novel that tackles identity as well as the role of a citizen and how a lack of personal freedom can forever scar a people and a nation. 61165 1384 Conversation in the Cathedral total:276|5:155|4:68|3:41|2:9|1:3| 276 1191 466 27 5 0 false false Mon Aug 31 14:13:21 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 14:51:58 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jun 29 17:12:35 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 20:36:31 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Sep 11 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 28 09:43:11 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 11 13:43:54 -0700 2008 1
