The Storyteller

Kitap eklendiğinde bana bildir

At a small gallery in Florence, a Peruvian writer happens upon a photograph of a tribal storyteller deep in the jungles of the Amazon. He is overcome with the eerie sense that he knows this man…that the storyteller is not an Indian at all but an old school friend, Saul Zuratas. As recollections of Zuratas flow through his mind, the writer begins to imagine Zuratas's transformation from a modern to a central member of the unacculturated Machiguenga tribe. Weaving the mysteries of identity, storytelling, and truth, Vargas Llosa has created a spellbinding tale of one man's journey from the modern world to our origins, abandoning one in order to find meaning in both.

Luckily we’re always moving from one place to another.

is forged little by little, in the folds of the spirit, tangential to reason, shielded from indiscreet eyes, not seeking the approval of others — who would never grant it — until it is at last put into practice. I imagine that in the process — the conceiving of a project and its ripening into action — the saint, the visionary, or the madman isolates himself more and more, walling himself up in solitude, safe from the intrusion of others
