What is Paradise, beyond what various religions say? Perhaps it is the construction of another society, more just and free? Or maybe, the return to a world that has not yet been corrupted by Western civilization?
In this novel, Mario Vargas Llosa narrates the final episodes of the lives of two individuals. First, the painter Paul Gauguin, who abandons a wealthy and successful life in France to escape to Polynesia, seeking the dream of a world outside conventions, away from the conservatism of Europe. Then, Flora Tristan, one of the first women to fight for the rights of women and workers, in a France still unprepared to accept her voice.
Flora Tristan is Paul Gauguin's grandmother. What else did these two people have in common? How much did one person's "madness" touch the "madness" of the other? In this captivating journey, Paradise sweeps us along through a continuous wandering in places (France, Peru, Tahiti, Marquesas Islands), times, events, and faces.
