The Way to Paradise
This is the title of a marvelous book of the Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa, I just finished reading it and obviously my today's entry has to be about this book.
This book has almost five hundred pages and it tells us the life of the painter Gauguin and his grand mother, the activist Flora Tristan. So, as you can guess, the book more than a novel is a biography of they both.
For me, it is an excellent book, very well writen, and very well documented. It was especially interesting for me to know more about Gauguin and his particular view of life and art, I don't really like his work, but I admire the fact that he started to paint very late in his life. And as far as Flora Tristan, this woman was just awesome! I didn't know anything about her before to read this book and now I'm just fascinated by this woman.
So, yes... I loved this book, and I hope to continue reading more of Vargas Llosa in the future.
