Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa, yesterday, from a lecture at the Sorbonne, Paris.
"En 1959 llegué a Francia. Creía haber llegado a un país de ensueño, y no me decepcionó. La cultura era omnipresente (¡hasta en la televisión!), y allí vivían Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre y Jean Vilar, se representaba a Ionesco, se leía a Beckett... El debate político era muy intenso, pero era un debate de altura. Me sentí como un bárbaro entre civilizados".
(In 1959, I arrived in France. I believed I had arrived in a dream country, and I was not wrong. Her culture was omnipresent (including on TV!), and there lived Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre and jean Vilar, there was found Ionesco, there one read Beckett....The political debate was very intense, but it was a debate on a whole other level. I felt like a barbarian among the civilized.)
