Mario Vargas Llosa referred to his love break with the socialite Isabel Preysler, with whom he had an 8-year relationship. After the news of their separation was confirmed, there was speculation in various media about what would be the reasons for the end of the romance. It was even mentioned that the origin would have been a behavior guided by jealousy on the part of the Peruvian writer. The Nobel Prize was pronounced on all of this and left no room for doubt.
