First Lines Second Thoughts — The Storyteller
![]() |
Il Domo en Firenze. |
First Lines, Second Thoughts is a look at the first lines of well known literary works.
On second thought, do these opening words stand alone as poetry? As we continue our travels through Peru we shine the spotlight on her most famous novelist — Nobel Prize for Literature recipient Mario Vargas Llohsa and his novel, The Storyteller. Published as El hablador in its original Spanish in 1987. Published in 1989 in English.

Grandeza Mexicana
![]() |
Un fragmento de un poema sobre la ciudad de México. |
gracia, donaire, discreción y aseo,
altivez, compostura y atavío
de las damas daeste alto coliseo,
nata del mundo, flor de la belleza
cumplida perfección, sin del deseo,
su afable trato, su real grandeza,
su grave honestidad, su compostura,
templada con suave y gran llaneza?
