The OCLC Research WorldCat Identities project is ending. The work provided valuable insight into how to mine bibliographic data for insight into the People and Organizations that create and serve as subjects library materials. The findings demonstrated the power of data mining over the world’s largest set of bibliographic metadata and highlighted the value of collaborative collective cataloging. The WorldCat Identities data has positively impacted OCLC’s work to build the WorldCat Entities application and the 150 million Person and Work descriptions accessible through it. This work will continue to build our entity ecosystem to support the future knowledge work of librarians.

The WorldCat Identities web application will be retired and shut down in the coming months and the data is no longer being updated. The most recent version of the data is from July of 2022. As OCLC continues to build out the WorldCat Entities ecosystem, please use it as a source for persistent Person identifiers. https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity

The time of the hero by Mario Vargas Llosa( Book )

663 editions published between 1926 and 2020 in 14 languages and held by 4,704 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"The scene: a pitch-black lavatory after lights-out at the Leoncio Prado Military Academy in Lima, Peru. Four cadets are drawing lots for the night's mission. Their objective: the captain's office. Their target: to steal a copy of the next day's chemistry examination. In this microcosm, this city within a city, a group of cadets form still another circle in their attempt to break out of the vicious round of sadistic hazing, military discipline, confinement, and boredom. The cadets' rebellion is led by the Jaguar, an aloof, tough boy who refuses to be initiated and treated as one of the Dogs. Under his leadership seven cadets, later reduced to four, join forces to fight the system by smuggling in pisco and cigarettes, running midnight poker games in the latrine, selling answers to examinations, stealing or mutilating uniforms. The Poet, regarded as the class brain, writes and sells pornographic stories; the Boa, their sex hero, wins the contests they hold in their hide-out; and the Slave is their built-in scapegoat. But what began as pranks in their First Year turns into tragedy by the time the boys reach the Third Year -- the point at which the novel opens. The officers' discovery of the theft of a crucial final exam sets off a cycle of betrayal, murder, and revenge which jeopardizes the entire military hierarchy. Moving back and forth from past to present, from inner thought to outer action, from within the Academy to the city outside, Vargas LLosa exposes the sordid world of the military elite, with its hypocrisy, moral decay, and power politics, and the corruption throughout the society beyond the Academy walls." --
Aunt Julia and the scriptwriter by Mario Vargas Llosa( Book )

391 editions published between 1977 and 2019 in 14 languages and held by 4,447 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Marito is a young Peruvian who toils away at his local radio station, dreaming of becoming a writer, before his life is torn apart by two arrivals. The first is his recently divorced Aunt Julia, with whom he begins an affair which he must hide from his family. The second is Pedro Camacho, an eccentric scriptwriter whose radio dramas are keeping the whole city enthralled. This hilarious and mischievous novel interweaves the story of Marito's life with Pedro Camacho's increasingly insane tales to masterfully depict both Peru and the act of growing up in the 1950s. Mario Vargas Llosa won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2010, and Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter is a perfect introduction to one of South America's most popular and lauded writers
The green house by Mario Vargas Llosa( Book )

Mario Vargas Llosa's novel takes place in a Peruvian town, situated between desert and jungle, which is torn by boredom and lust. Don Anselmo, a stranger in a black coat, builds a brothel on the outskirts of the town while he charms its innocent people, setting in motion a chain reaction with extraordinary consequences. This brothel, called the Green House, brings together the innocent and the corrupt: Bonificia, a young Indian girl saved by the nuns only to become a prostitute; Father Garcia, struggling for the church; and four best friends drawn to both excitement and escape. The conflicting forces that haunt the Green House evoke a world balanced between savagery and civilization - and one that is cursed by not being able to discern between the two

The storyteller by Mario Vargas Llosa( Book )

178 editions published between 1982 and 2020 in 9 languages and held by 3,355 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"At a small gallery in Florence, a Peruvian writer stares with fascination at the photograph of a tribal storyteller deep in the jungles of the Amazon. He is overcome with the eerie sense that he knows this man ... that the storyteller is not an Indian at all, but his old school friend, Saúl Zuratas. As recollections of Zuratas - a Jew, a perpetual outsider - flow through his mind, the writer begins to imagine Zuratas' transformation from a modern man to a central member, the voice and the chronicler, of the primitive unacculturated Machiguenga tribe. Weaving the mysteries of identity, storytelling, and truth, Vargas Llosa has created a spellbinding tale of one man's journey from the modern world to the world of our origins, abandoning one in order to find the meaning in both."--Back cover
The bad girl by Mario Vargas Llosa( Book )

219 editions published between 2005 and 2019 in 12 languages and held by 3,120 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Ricardo Somocurcio is in love with a bad girl. He loves her as a teenager known as "Lily" in Lima in 1950, when she flits into his life one summer and disappears again without explanation. He loves her still when she reappears as a revolutionary in 1960s Paris, then later as Mrs. Richardson, the wife of a wealthy Englishman, and again as the mistress of a sinister Japanese businessman in Tokyo. However poorly she treats him, he is doomed to worship her. Charting Ricardo's expatriate life through his romances with this shape-shifting woman, Vargas Llosa has created a beguiling, epic romance about the life-altering power of obsession."--Amazon.com viewed August 26, 2020

His stories are intermingled with the ongoing mystery of the missing men

The dream of the Celt by Mario Vargas Llosa( Book )

127 editions published between 2008 and 2019 in 7 languages and held by 2,403 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"In 1916, the Irish nationalist Roger Casement was hanged by the British government for treason. Casement had dedicated his life to improving the plight of oppressed peoples around the world. But when he dared to draw a parallel between the injustices he witnessed in African and American colonies and those committed by the British in Northern Ireland, he became involved in a cause that led to his imprisonment and execution. Ultimately, the scandals surrounding Casement's trial and eventual hanging marred his image to such a degree that his pioneering human rights work wasn't fully reexamined until the 1960s. Dream of the Celt is a fascinating fictional account of an extraordinary man in the original and dynamic style of Nobel Laureate Mario Vargas Llosa." Amazon.com viewed 7/28/2020

La Fiesta del Chivo by Mario Vargas Llosa( Book )

207 editions published between 1995 and 2019 in 5 languages and held by 2,048 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Vargas Llosa, Premio Nobel de Literatura y Pr?ncipe de Asturias de las Letras, relata el fin de una era dando voz al impecable e implacable general Trujillo, apodado el Chivo, y al sosegado y h?bil doctor Balaguer (sempiterno presidente de la Rep?blica Dominicana). Uno de los mejores libros en espa?ol de los?ltimos 25 a?os seg?n Babelia. ¿Por qu? regresa Urania Cabral a la isla que jur? no volver a pisar? ¿Por qu? sigue vac?a y llena de miedo desde los catorce a?os? ¿Por qu? no ha tenido un solo amor? En La Fiesta del Chivo (2000) asistimos a un doble retorno. Mientras Urania visita a su padre en Santo Domingo, volvemos a 1961, cuando la capital dominicana a?n se llamaba Ciudad Trujillo. All? un hombre que no suda tiraniza a tres millones de personas sin saber que se gesta una maquiav?lica transici?n a la democracia. Con un ritmo y una precisi?n dif?cilmente superables, este peruano universal muestra que la pol?tica puede consistir en abrirse camino entre cad?veres, y que un ser inocente puede convertirse en un regalo truculento. Mejor novela espa?ola del siglo XXI seg?n los expertos consultados por el diario ABC. Rese?as: "Mario Vargas Llosa ha vuelto a la novela hist?rica con el arte acumulado tras su ya extenso periplo literario. El resultado es un libro espl?ndido, de lo mejor que ha dado su innegable talento." Joaqu?n Marco, El Cultural de El Mundo "Una estructura perfectamente engarzada, donde el desarrollo de las tres l?neas argumentales se refuerza sostenidamente a un ritmo apasionante de thriller pol?tico e intriga dram?tica." Fietta Jarque, Babelia "Esta novela atrapar? a todo aquel que caiga en sus fauces. El fest?n narrativo organizado por el autor invita a continuar insomne hasta el?ltimo lamento de esperanza final ... podemos disfrutar, una vez m?s, de un talento torrencial, el que se vierte en las voces y acontecimientos de una obra llena de incertidumbres morales." Andr?s Magro, Diario 16 "El doctor Vargas Llosa ha escrito mucho m?s que la historia de un magnicidio ... Esta es la vuelta triunfal a su mejor literatura." Javier Aparicio, El Peri?dico de Catalunya "Plet?rico de imaginaci?n, t?cnica narrativa y altura de pensamiento, vuelve el mejor Mario Vargas Llosa con La Fiesta del Chivo, una feroz cr?tica de la tiran?a impuesta por Trujillo a la Rep?blica Dominicana y una excepcional novela sobre la corrupci?n que envuelve cualquier forma absolutista de ejercicio de poder." Francisco Garc?a P?rez, La Nueva Espa?a

The cubs and other stories by Mario Vargas Llosa( Book )

225 editions published between 1958 and 2016 in 8 languages and held by 1,630 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Vargas Llosa's domain is the Peru of male youth and machismo, where life's dramas play themselves out on the soccer field, the dance floor, and on street corners. The title story, "The Cubs," tells the story of the carefree boyhood of P.P. Cuellar and his friends, and of P.P.'s bizarre accident and tragic coming of age. Innovative in style and technique, it is a work of both physical and psychic loss. In a candid and perceptive forward to this collection of early writing, Vargas llosa provides background to the volume and a unique glimpse into the mind of the Nobel Prize-winning artist. -- Publisher marketing
