Описание: La ciudad y los perros es la novela con la que Vargas Llosa, Premio Nobel de Literatura y Principe de Asturias de las Letras, alcanzo el reconocimiento internacional. La ciudad y los perros no solamente es un ataque contra la crueldad ejercida a un grupo de jovenes alumnos del Colegio Militar Leoncio Prado, sino tambien una critica frontal al concepto erroneo de la virilidad, de sus funciones y de las consecuencias de una educacion castrense malentendida.
Un grupo de jovenes que se educan en una disciplina militar implacable y violenta, aprenden a sobrevivir en un ambiente que lleva muy arraigados los prejuicios raciales y las diferencias entre clases sociales y economicas; donde todos se muestran como no son en realidad y la transgresion de las normas parece ser la unica salida. Pero La ciudad y los perros no solamente es una diatriba contra la brutalidad ejercida en un grupo de jovenes alumnos del Colegio Militar Leoncio Prado, tambien es un ataque frontal al concepto erroneo de la virilidad, de sus funciones y de las consecuencias de una educacion castrense malentendida. Aunada a la brutalidad propia de la vida militar, a lo largo de las paginas de esta extraordinaria novela, la vehemencia yla pasion de la juventud se desbocan hasta llegar a una furia, una rabia y un fanatismo que anulan toda su sensibilidad. El libro mas violento de Mario Vargas Llosa. Premio Biblioteca Breve 1962. Considerada una de las mejores novelas en espanol del siglo XX. Traducida a mas de treinta idiomas. Un titulo imprescindible de la literatura hispanoamericana En La ciudad y los perros, Mario Vargas Llosa demuestra una madurez literaria extraordinaria que en adelante ira en aumento hasta alcanzar un estilo depuradisimo y un sitio de primera fila entre los escritores contemporaneos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Translated to over 30 languages, this is perhaps Vargas Llosa's most violent book. Set in a military school in Lima, where an unwritten code of survival of the fittest is imposed. Here, he focuses on the brutality of military life and the strong pyramidal hierarchy that mirrors Peruvian society, where violence, exploitation and human degradation guarantee that each layer of the social pyramid maintains its place. All the conflicts of Peruvian society arise with rage and impotence in this testimonial novel in which Vargas Llosa paints a social and political picture."

Описание:
Mario Vargas Llosa, the internationally acclaimed novelist and a cultural and political figure in Peru, explores the complexities of Peruvian society and the writer's imagination in three dramas.
In The Young Lady from Tacina, history and fiction collide in a 100-year-old woman known as Mamae, as her grand nephew attempts to turn the rich but contradictory stories of her life into a single narrative.
In Kathie and the Hippopotamus, a banker's wife recounts her travel adventures to a writer, but as he embellishes the tales with his own style and tastes, they transform into something altogether new and unexpected.
Finally, in La Chunga, the regulars in a small-town bar trade speculations about what happened between the bar's female owner, a local pimp, and their shared object of desire, who has disappeared.
Vargas Llorca introduces each play with a foreword that helps to place the action in context.

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE
The action of The Time of the Hero, Nobel Prize-winning author Mario Vargas Llosa's first novel, takes place at the Leoncio Prado Military Academy in Lima, Peru. There, four angry cadets who have formed an inner circle in an attempt to ward off the boredom and stifling confinement of the military academy set off a chain of events that starts with a theft and leads to murder and suicide. The Time of the Hero presents, with great accuracy and power, the cadets' nightmare life: brutal initiation rights, poker in the latrines, drinking contests; and, above all else, the strange military code which, whether broken or followed, can only destroy. When The Time of the Hero was first published in Peru in 1962, it was considered so scandalous that a thousand copies were burned in an official ceremony at the Leoncio Prado Military Academy. That same year, the book received the Biblioteca Breve Prize, an award given to the best work of fiction in the Spanish language. ... A]s with other fine writers, Vargas functions on more than a single level of meaning. - The New York Times

Описание: Behind this violent act is a lie passed off as truth, which forever changed the development of Latin America: that those in power encouraged the spread of Soviet communism in the Americas. Mario Vargas Llosa has written a drama on a world stage, in which some persecutors end up as victims of the very plot they helped construct.

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE
With meticulous observation and the seductive skill of a great storyteller, Vargas Llosa lures the reader into the shadow of perversion that, little by little, darkens the extraordinary happiness and harmony of his characters. The mysterious nature of happiness and above all, the corrupting power of innocence are the themes that underlie these pages, and the author has perfectly met the demands of the erotic novel, never dimming for an instant the fine poetic polish of his writing.

Internationally acclaimed novelist Mario Vargas Llosa has contributed a biweekly column to Spain's major newspaper, El Pa s, since 1977. In this collection of columns from the 1990s, Vargas Llosa weighs in on the burning questions of the last decade, including the travails of Latin American democracy, the role of religion in civic life, and the future of globalization. But Vargas Llosa's influence is hardly limited to politics. In some of the liveliest critical writing of his career, he makes a pilgrimage to Bob Marley's shrine in Jamaica, celebrates the sexual abandon of Carnaval in Rio, and examines the legacies of Vermeer, Bertolt Brecht, Frida Kahlo, and Octavio Paz, among others.
