Book excerpt: The Seven Essays -given the marxist approach very little assimilated, by then- seized the imagination of the Peruvian people, and later, of the entire world. With scholarly patience and the insight of a surgeon -for a self-taught writer who never attended college or a university- he touched the raw nervous centers of Perú. By examining symptoms, analyzing palliative cures -often erroneous- he made it clear that although the marxist solutions were incipient, they could at least give an initial impetus to the improvement of the country. The problems that Mariátegui examines are: 1) Economic evolution; 2) The problem of the indian; 3) The problem of the land; 4) The process of public instruction; 5) the religious factor; 6) Regionalism and centralism; and 7) The process of literature.
