"The Way to Paradise" intertwines the story of the painter Paul Gauguin with that of his grandmother, Flora Tristan. In 1844, Flora embarked on a journey to France to advocate for workers' and women's rights. In 1891, her grandson sailed to Tahiti, determined to escape from civilization and seek inspiration to paint his primitive masterpieces. Although Flora died before her grandson was born, their travels and obsessions unravel parallel in this absorbing novel. A rare study of passion, ambition, and the resolute pursuit of greatness against illness, death, and conservative forces, "The Way to Paradise" showcases Mario Vargas Llosa at the height of his powers.
