From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Captain Pantoja and the Special Service (1973) (orig. Spanish Pantaleón y las visitadoras) is a relatively short comedic novel by the acclaimed Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa. It deals with the eponymous Captain Pantoja's astonishingly efficient drive to bring a service of prostitutes to accommodate the desires of the men of the Peruvian armed forces who are stationed in what is portrayed as a strangely aphrodisiac Amazon jungle.
