The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto

by Mario Vargas Llosa
The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto
The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto

Erotic reflections blurring fantasy with reality.

If you're intrigued by the complexities of human sexuality and the power of the imagination, "The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto" will fascinate you. Mario Vargas Llosa masterfully weaves a tale that dips into eroticism while challenging the boundaries between what's real and what's conjured by desire. As you explore Rigoberto's inner world, you may find yourself questioning where one man's fantasies end and his reality begins.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Don Rigoberto - by day a grey insurance executive, by night a pornographer and sexual enthusiast - misses Lucrecia, his estranged second wife. The pair separated following a sexual encounter between Lucrecia and Alfonso, Rigoberto's son. To compensate for her absence, Rigoberto fills his notebooks with memories, fantasies and unsent letters. Meanwhile, Alfonso visits Lucrecia, determined to win her love. In The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto, Mario Vargas Llosa keeps the reader guessing which episodes are real and which issue from Rigoberto's imagination. The novel, a wonderful mix of reality and fantasy, is sexy, funny, disquieting, and unfailingly compelling. If you enjoyed The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto, you might also like Mario Vargas Llosa's In Praise of the Stepmother.
