| 8ec0ef2 | Queria de veras un consejo, piensa, sabia que estabas enamorado de ella y queria saber si te atreverias a decirselo? Que habria dicho si yo, piensa, que habria yo si ella. Piensa: ay, Zavalita. | Mario Vargas Llosa | ||
| 98c033b | Alberto penso subitamente, en el bautizo de los perros. Por primera vez, despues de tres anos, sentia esa sensacion de impotencia y humillacion radical que habia descubierto al ingresar al colegio. Sin embargo, ahora era todavia peor: al menos, el bautizo se compartia. | Mario Vargas Llosa | ||

| 6064794 | Todo el cuerpo del Jaguar parecio replegarse como sorprendido por una instantanea punzada en las entranas. - Pero el caso de el era distinto - dijo, ronco, articulando con esfuerzo-. No es lo mismo, mi teniente. Los otros me traicionaron de pura cobardia. El queria vengar al Esclavo. Es un soplon y eso siempre da pena en un hombre, pero era por vengar a un amigo, ?No ve la diferencia, mi teniente? | Mario Vargas Llosa | ||
| a2c162c | Mentira, el recuerdo del colegio despertaba aun esa inevitable sensacion sombria y hurana bajo la cual su espiritu se contraia como una mimosa al contacto de la piel humana. Solo que el malestar era cada vez mas efimero, un pasajero granito de arena en el ojo, ya estaba bien de nuevo. | Mario Vargas Llosa | ||

| 8804c9d | This "manna from heaven" was being squandered because of the laziness and stupidity of the savages who refused to work as harvesters of latex and obliged the planters to go to the tribes and take them by force. Which meant a great loss of time and money for the enterprises. "Well," -- | Mario Vargas Llosa | ||

| 30c629a | Al igual que la elite, la clase social es una realidad que debe ser mantenida pues en ella se recluta y forma esa casta o promocion que garantiza la alta cultura, una elite que en ningun caso debe identificarse totalmente con la clase privilegiada o aristocratica de la que proceden principalmente sus miembros. Cada clase tiene la cultura que produce y le conviene, y aunque, naturalmente, hay coexistencia entre ellas, tambien hay marcadas di.. | Mario Vargas Llosa | ||

| f45b09b | Was there no limit to the suffering of human beings? The world was infested with these enclaves of savagery that awaited him in Putumayo. How many? Hundreds, thousands, millions? Could the hydra be defeated? Its head was cut off in one place and reappeared in another, bloodier and more horrifying. | Mario Vargas Llosa | ||

| 85347db | Alberto caminaba de vuelta a su casa, ensimismado, aturdido. El invierno moribundo se despedia de Miraflores con una subita neblina que se habia instalado a media altura, entre la tierra y la cresta de los arboles de la avenida Larco: al atravesarla, las luces de los faroles se debilitaban, la neblina estaba en todas partes ahora, envolviendo y disolviendo objetos, personas, recuerdos: los rostros de Arana y el Jaguar, las cuadras, las cons.. | Mario Vargas Llosa | ||
| 152175e | Alberto sonaba sin cerrar los ojos. Habian bastado apenas unos segundos para que el mundo que abandono le abriera sus puertas y lo recibiera otra vez en su seno sin tomarle cuentas, como si el lugar que ocupaba entre ellos le hubiera sido celosamente guardado durante esos tres anos.

| 6d70728 | they knew what we're doing for them, they'd kiss our feet. But mentally they are closer to the crocodile and the hippopotamus than to you or me. That's why we decide what is good for them and have them sign those contracts. | Mario Vargas Llosa | ||

| 7933d6d | Among the colonizers there would be not only altruists such as Dr. Livingstone but abusive scoundrels as well, but in the final analysis, the benefits would far outweigh the harm.

| d9b18d6 | If in this address I were to summon all the writers to whom I owe a few things or a great deal, their shadows would plunge us into darkness. They are innumerable. In addition to revealing the secrets of the storytelling craft, they obliged me to explore the bottomless depths of humanity, admire its heroic deeds and feel horror at its savagery. | Mario Vargas Llosa | ||
