By the time he died in April 2025, the Peruvian novelist and essayist Mario Vargas Llosa was internationally renowned and celebrated, considered to be perhaps the greatest contemporary writer and most influential intellectual in the Spanish-speaking world. He also was indisputably the most controversial: He was never out of the headlines in more than six decades of literary and political activity, from the moment he exploded onto the cultural scene in the early 1960s with his first novel, THE TIME OF THE HERO, until his last, I GIVE YOU MY SILENCE, in 2023. Handsome, debonair and almost incomparably ambitious, Vargas Llosa's personal life was as head-turning as his politics, rendered here in outrageous detail.

The U.S. Navy rules the seas --- not only above the waters but below. A large factor in that sovereignty is a network of undersea listening devices scattered around the worlds oceans.
