Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:

Novela ejemplar en la historia del boom latinoamericano, La casa verde es una experiencia ineludible para todo aquel que quiera conocer en profundidad la obra narrativa de Mario Vargas Llosa.

¿Cuál es el secreto que encierra La casa verde?

Con motivo del 50 aniversario de Alfaguara, este título ha sido elegido como uno de los 50 imprescindibles de la historia de la editorial.

La casa verde ocurre en dos lugares muy alejados entre sí, Piura, en el desierto del litoral peruano, y Santa María de Nieva, una factoría y misión religiosa perdida en el corazón de la Amazonía. Símbolo de la historia es la mítica casa de placer que don Anselmo, el forastero, erige en las afueras de Piura.

La casa verde (1965) recibió al año siguiente de su publicación el Premio de la Crítica y, en 1967, el Premio Internacional de Literatura Rómulo Gallegos a la mejor novela en lengua española.

Reseña:
«La casa verde es maravillosa.»
Julio Cortázar

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Don Anselmo builds a brothel on the outskirts of the town while he charms its innocent people, setting in motion a chain reaction with extraordinary consequences. This brothel, called the Green House, brings together the innocent and the corrupt: Bonificia, saved by the nuns only to become a prostitute; Father Garcia, struggling for the church; and four best friends drawn to both excitement and escape.
