The Real Life of Alejandro Mayta (signed)

First US Edition, First Printing. Signed by LLosa on the title page. The author's seventh novel and one his finest achievements. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. In "The Real Life of Alejandro Mayta," Llosa presents an astute psychological portrait of a modern revolutionary, in the form of an account by a former friend. Through this prism, the novel examines the long, violent, and painful history of Latin-American politics. Fine in a fine dust jacket, with only a tiny closed tear on the top edge. A lovely copy of this Nobel Prize winning author for Literature, and one of the most renowned of his generation.
