The machine contains 330,000 cubic meters (431,640 cu. yds.) of concrete and holds some 60,000 tons of hardware, including...
...admits that he finds it hard to concentrate these days. No doubt Peruvian reality rivals even the most artful and engaging of his novels. In Conversations in the Cathedral (1969) and The War at the End of the World (1984), the two books of which he is proudest, Vargas Llosa explored fanaticism, apocalypse and corruption.
