Mario Vargas Llosa
Casement's story was forgotten and is now resurrected after his death. His remains were buried without markers: no headstone, no cross, no initials. Mario Vargas Llosa restores to their proper place the contributions of this amazing person who lived between 1864 and 1916. Casement was a British diplomat who denounced great crimes committed in the Congo and in the Amazon in the name of colonialism and was an militant activist for Irish nationalism.
