The military coup perpetrated by Carlos Castillo Armas and supported by the CIA topples the government of Jacobo \u00c1rbenz. Behind this violent act is a lie passed off as truth, which forever changes the development of Latin America: the accusation by the Eisenhower administration that \u00c1rbenz encouraged the spread of Soviet Communism in the Americas.\u00a0<i>Harsh Times<\/i>\u00a0is a story of international conspiracies and conflicting interests in the time of the Cold War, the echoes of which are still felt today.<\/p>\n<p>In this thrilling novel, Mario Vargas Llosa fuses reality with two fictions: that of the narrator, who freely recreates characters and situations, and the one designed by those who would control the politics and the economy of a continent by manipulating its history.<\/p>\n<p><i>Harsh Times<\/i>\u00a0is a gripping, revealing novel that directly confronts recent history. No one is better suited to tell this riveting story than Vargas Llosa, and there is no form better for it than his deeply textured fiction. Not since\u00a0<i>The Feast of the Goat<\/i>, his classic novel of the downfall of Trujillo\u2019s regime in the Dominican Republic, has Vargas Llosa combined politics, characters, and suspense so unforgettably.<\/p>\n<h3>Harsh Times<\/h3>\n<p>A Novel<br \/>\nBy: Mario Vargas Llosa, Adrian Nathan West<br \/>\nNarrated by: Ian Guerra<br \/>\nLength: 10 hrs and 31 mins<br \/>\nRelease date: 11-23-21<br \/>\nLanguage: English<br \/>\nFormat and Bitrate: M4B@125 kbps<br \/>\nSize: 574.39 MB<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rapidgator.net\/file\/edaa17bf9713c0ff484e94177442ce8a\/Harsh_Times.m4b.html\"><strong>Download from RAPIDGATOR<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/transfer.it\/t\/e7gjcyglgBBD\"><strong>Download from TRANSFER.it<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The true story of Guatemala\u2019s political turmoil of the 1950s as only a master of fiction can tell it.
