La llamada de la tribu es una autobiografía intelectual de Mario
Var Llosa.
La diferencia con libros como El pez en el agua es que aquí el
protagonismo no lo tienen las vivencias del autor, sino las
lecturas que moldearon su forma de pensar y de ver el mundo en
los últimos cincuenta años.
El Nobel peruano ha hecho una cartografía de los pensadores
liberales que lo ayudaron a desarrollar un nuevo cuerpo de ideas
después del gran trauma ideológico que supuso, por un lado, el
desencanto con la Revolución Cubana y, por otro, el
distanciamiento de las ideas de Jean-Paul Sartre, el autor que
más lo había inspirado en su juventud.
Los autores que analiza son Adam Smith, José Ortega y set,
Friedrich Hayek, Karl Popper, Raymond Aron, Isaiah Berlin y
Jean-Fraçois Revel, quienes le fueron de enorme ayuda durante
aquellos años de desazón, mostrándole otra tradición de
pensamiento que privilegiaba al individuo frente a la tribu, la
nación, la clase o el partido, y que defendía la libertad de
expresión como valor fundamental para el ejercicio de la
democracia.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An intellectual autobiography of Nobel Prize winner Mario Var
Llosa.
The difference between this autobiography and others like El pez
en el agua /A Fish in the Water is that this book’s leading role
is not necessarily the author’s experiences, but rather the
literature that shaped his way of thinking and his way of seeing
the world in the last fifty years. The Peruvian Nobel laureate
creates a road of the liberal thinkers that helped him develop
a new set of ideas after the great ideological disappointment
that was, on the one hand, his disenchantment with the Cuban
Revolution and, on the other, a distancing of sorts from an
author who had greatly inspired him in his youth, Jean-Paul
Sartre.
The authors which he analyzes are Adam Smith, Jose Ortega y
set, Friedrich Hayek, Karl Popper, Raymond Aron, Isaiah Berlin
and Jean-Fraçois Revel, who were of great help during those
disconcerting years, showing him a new train of thought which
gave the individual more power than the “tribe”, the nation, the
class or the party, and that defended freedom of expression as a
fundamental value for democracy.
