  • Rupture Mario Vargas Llosa also received the exclusives, but he hated the atmosphere of Isabel Preysler and is happy to return to the intellectual circuit

"No one deserved to be in the front row more than her. The woman of her life, say the cheesy. Not only the cheesy. The immortals too."

These have been the words with which

Álvaro Vargas Llosa

(56) has vindicated the figure of

his mother, Patricia Llosa

(78).

The entry of the writer

Mario Vargas Llosa

(86) in the Academy of the French Language drew

a picture

last Thursday that no one would have expected months ago: that of the Peruvian author enjoying one of the most important moments of his career

with his children,

but also

with the woman from whom he separated

eight years ago.

This string of salutes to the

ex-wife, cousin and mother

of the three children of the Nobel Prize, accompanies one of the many

photographs

that the family has shared on social networks.

In a ceremony located in Paris where the author of

La fiesta del Chivo

had

the company of King Juan Carlos

and Infanta Cristina, Patricia Llosa has become

a great eclipse,

a journalistic enigma.

Not only because of her presence, but because of what she could have represented Isabel Preysler (71) in the same headlines that seemed to bear her name months ago.

The King, the Infanta Cristina and his ex-wife Patricia, first row of witnesses of the historic moment of Vargas Llosa

On the same day that Mario Vargas Llosa occupies the eighteenth chair of the Parisian academic institution, Isabel Preysler kindly attends LOC from her home.

She returns a call made hours earlier, but she stresses that

she wants to defuse the buzz

that has been generated around her story.

"I'll just say that

I want this to stop.

All I want is

for this war to end,"

she maintains.

Right now, she says she is in a period of her life in which she longs for calm and rest.

"I don't want to make statements. I'm at a time when

I prefer to remain silent,

because it seems that everything I say is a very fat thing and

I'm only telling the truth,"

he stresses.

"I have no interest. I'm fine as I am.

I want to enjoy my grandchildren,

it's the only thing that really amuses me now."

SUPPORTED BY ITS ENVIRONMENT

Since

she announced her break

with the writer on December 28, alleging "unfounded jealousy" on his part, only one issue has disturbed Isabel Preysler.

Sources close to the celebrity corroborate

her general good mood

of hers.

"What is published does not affect her in any way.

All of that is completely over,

it is a thing of the past. What does not happen is

that they mess with her daughter Tamara ",

they express about the controversy of the short story

Los winds

.

Published in October 2021, through its lines, Vargas Llosa transports us to the atmosphere of a dystopian Madrid, in which technology has distorted culture.

At one point in the action, the narrator leads to the

fictional College of the Marquesas Islands,

where "Philosophy shares an academic department with Theology and Cookery".

Preysler perceived in said paragraph

the ridicule towards his daughter,

Marquise de Griñón, devoted Catholic and dexterous cook who won the sixth edition of

Masterchef Celebrity

.

In an exclusive statement for

Hello!

, the socialite maintains that this part of the writing

did not appear in the version that she read for the first time.

A statement opposed to that of the

Letras Libres magazine,

which has ceded to Libertad Digital the manuscript sent by Vargas Llosa.

From the editorial environment of the author, they indicate that

"not even a comma"

of the original text has been edited.

"Say what they say, they have added it.

He has a great hand with publishers

and he has achieved it. Everyone who has read the story before can tell you," reveals this same source from his circle.

"Do you think that if that came to be, he wouldn't have noticed? He would have immediately

thought it was about Tamara."

In this sense, what seems to have disappointed Preysler the most is her confidence that Mario Vargas Llosa

kept the same affection for her daughter

as she did for him.

Which would explain his change of attitude towards the media.

It is the first time that Isabel Preysler

breaks the vow of silence

that used to happen at the end of her past relationships.

Neither two separations nor five decades of travel in the Spanish press had elicited

a single negative word

about past loves.

Elegance, cordiality and discretion

defined her attitude after the divorces of

Julio Iglesias and Carlos Falcó.

She also during her 20 years of happy marriage with former minister Miguel Boyer, whom she refers to as

the great love of her life

and who died in 2014 after long months of illness.

"It could not be said that Mario has behaved as well as Julio or Carlos," they emphasize.

In her evolution from queen of hearts to maiden of gold, Isabel Preysler has more valuable assets than a new romantic love.

"She has no interest. She's fine the way she is."

In his chalet in Puerta de Hierro, snacks are held once a week.

Homebody and advertisement hostess,

she likes to surround herself with her usual friends and receive visits from her children.

OPPOSING VERSIONS

"He has separated twice and

has never had the slightest problem,"

they explain in their environment.

When asked if she considers it a provocation that Vargas Llosa's children upload photos of her parents together again, they point out that she does not care.

"As long as they don't mess with her family,

her children and they don't tell lies, the rest doesn't matter to her. She is the one who tells the truth," they warn.

On February 8, the journalist Pilar Vidal published on ABC a letter dated 2015 whose sender was Patricia Llosa and its recipient Isabel Preysler.

In it, the Peruvian woman claimed to be

aware of her incipient romance

with Mario.

But she warned him that she was another of her husband's whims.

One more of the countless slip-ups he succumbed to during

his 50-year marriage.

From the Nobel environment they had striven to

deny the existence of the letter,

changing their version after its partial leak of its content.

Currently he does not think about love and just wants to enjoy his family.

'It's what amuses me the most'

"Mario has staged

stories like yours 20 or 30 times

throughout the marriage," the ex-wife of Vargas Llosa, snubbed by the betrayal, snapped at him at the time.

After announcing that the writer's feelings towards his new illusion went beyond, she preferred to step aside and let it go.

Although she was disappointed that she had

celebrated her golden wedding anniversary

with him a few weeks ago, she could still have faith that her man would return home.

However, she filed for divorce soon after.

Over the next few years, Vargas Llosa wrote a new chapter of his life on coated paper.

Partnering with the queen of hearts opened the door to opportunities never before explored.

At first, he was entranced by his new life.

In the Preysler chalet, the intellectual

had all the possible comforts

and soon adopted Miguel Boyer's library as his favorite corner.

Between the shelves of the room and the entrance hall he was able to make

room for his books.

According to Rosa Villacastín, who for many years has remained close to the couple, it was a

happy stage for Vargas Llosa.

Both inside and outside the marital home.

"He has been integrated into that world. He was

delighted to have dinner with Carlos from England

or to go to Porcelanosa events. What happens is that now

they want to justify other attitudes.

He suggests that a Nobel Prize winner cannot be jealous, I don't understand why that".

However, acquaintances of the author insist on a version of the breakup different from that of the socialite, alleging that it was he who

took the suitcases out of Puerta de Hierro.

They relate the reasons for his exhaustion to feeling immersed in a

frivolous world,

unable to satisfy his intellectual voracity.

Months later, from Paris, they talk about a

full and relieved man.

He is proud to be the first author to enter the French Academy without writing in that language.

Being one of the world's leading experts on Flaubert endorses him for a 17th-century institution to which illustrious figures such as Montesquieu, Voltaire and Victor Hugo have belonged.

Created for the cultivation, study and preservation of the French language, the Academy has only 40 seats and to date has not accepted any

member over 75 years of age.

Also known as the house of the immortals, this select club once rejected authors of the stature of Rousseau, Diderot and Albert Camus.

Even Émile Zola himself was discarded 25 times.

And what

I accuse

was a letter, not that of Patricia Llosa.
