About This Item
The Story-Teller (El Hablador) is the 10th novel of the Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa (1936-), who won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature.
The story tells of Saúl Zuratas, a university student who leaves civilization and becomes a "storyteller" for the Machiguenga Native Americans. The novel discusses the Westernization of indigenous peoples through missions and through anthropological studies, and questions the notion that indigenous cultures are unchanging.
This is the stated first edition, second printing.
