El sueño del celta
Book • 2010
El sueño del celta (The Dream of the Celt) recounts the life of Roger Casement, an Irish nationalist and British diplomat who exposed human rights abuses in the Congo and the Amazon.
Vargas Llosa explores themes of conscience, colonialism, and the contradictions of political commitment through Casement's travels and eventual involvement in Irish independence.
The novel interrogates moral complexity and the costs of idealism, blending biography and historical fiction.
It reflects Vargas Llosa's interest in the clash between personal ethics and political action.
Diego cited it as relevant to discussions of individual struggle within nationalist contexts.
