内容简介

阔别祖国三十五年的乌拉尼娅回到了故乡多米尼加共和国。三十五年前整个多米尼加共和国处于冷血独裁者特鲁希略的统治下，乌拉尼亚的父亲卡布拉尔正是这位独裁者的得力助手。三十五年后，卡布拉尔已老，他行动不便更是丧失了语言功能。乌拉尼娅的姑妈不能理解为何乌拉尼娅从不曾探望自己父亲，面对质问，乌拉尼娅缓缓诉说起三十多年前那些美好的回忆，那些政治阴谋，还有那个毁了她一生的秘密……

多米尼加共和国前独裁者特鲁希略，这个被描绘为魔鬼的独裁者曾对三百多万多米尼加人施行了极端残酷的暴*，在他三十多年（1930－1961）的专制统治下，整个国家成了人间地狱。小说通过杜撰的一个女人的所见所闻，再现拉美*血腥的独裁统治。

'The Feast of the Goat will stand out as the great emblematic novel of Latin America's twentieth century and removes One Hundred Years of Solitude of that title.' Times Literary Supplement

Urania Cabral, a New York lawyer, returns to the Dominican Republic after a lifelong self-imposed exile. Once she is back in her homeland, the elusive feeling of terror that has overshadowed her whole life suddenly takes shape. Urania's own story alternates with the powerful climax of dictator Rafael Trujillo's reign.

In 1961, Trujillo's decadent inner circle (which includes Urania's soon-to-be disgraced father) enjoys the luxuries of privilege while the rest of the nation lives in fear and deprivation. As Trujillo clings to power, a plot to push the Dominican Republic into the future is being formed. But after the murder of its hated dictator, the Goat, is carried out, the Dominican Republic is plunged into the nightmare of a bloody and uncertain aftermath. Now, thirty years later, Urania reveals how her own family was fatally wounded by the forces of history. In The Feast of the Goat, Mario Vargas Llosa eloquently explores the effects of power and violence on the lives of both the oppressors and those they victimized.
