Anotace knihy

This book-length essay by the great Peruvian novelist is an alarm call to Western civilisation, which is in danger of losing some of its most precious achievements. His starting point is the famous analysis by T.S. Eliot in Notes Towards the Definition of Culture. Eliot wrote: 'I see no reason why ...we may not even anticipate a period, of some duration, of which it will be possible to say that it will have no culture.' Vargas Llosa believes that moment has now arrived. The essential difference between the older culture defended by Eliot and the hyper-entertainment culture we enjoy is that the artistic products of the former 'sought to transcend mere present time, to stay alive for future generations,' while the blockbuster, spectacular products of the latter are made to be consumed and instantly forgotten. The disappearance of the old culture, he writes, implies the disappearance of the old concept of value. 'A new reality has appeared, that contains only scant traces of what it has replaced.'
