Book Overview

La ciudad y los perros es la novela con la que Vargas Llosa, Premio Nobel de Literatura y Pr?ncipe de Asturias de las Letras, alcanz? el reconocimiento internacional.La ciudad y los perros no solamente es un ataque contra la crueldad ejercida a un grupo de j?venes alumnos del Colegio Militar Leoncio Prado, sino tambi?n una cr?tica frontal al concepto err?neo de la virilidad, de sus funciones y de las consecuencias de una educaci?n castrense malentendida.Un grupo de j?venes 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 econ?micas; donde todos se muestran como no son en realidad y la transgresi?n de las normas parece ser la ?nica salida.Pero La ciudad y los perros no solamente es una diatriba contra la brutalidad ejercida en un grupo de j?venes alumnos del Colegio Militar Leoncio Prado, tambi?n es un ataque frontal al concepto err?neo de la virilidad, de sus funciones y de las consecuencias de una educaci?n castrense malentendida. Aunada a la brutalidad propia de la vida militar, a lo largo de las p?ginas de esta extraordinaria novela, la vehemencia yla pasi?n de la juventud se desbocan hasta llegar a una furia, una rabia y un fanatismo que anulan toda su sensibilidad. El libro m?s violento de Mario Vargas Llosa.Premio Biblioteca Breve 1962.Considerada una de las mejores novelas en espa?ol del siglo XX.Traducida a m?s de treinta idiomas.Un t?tulo imprescindible de la literatura hispanoamericanaEn La ciudad y los perros, Mario Vargas Llosa demuestra una madurez literaria extraordinaria que en adelante ir? en aumento hasta alcanzar un estilo depurad?simo y un sitio de primera fila entre los escritores contempor?neos. 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."

La ciudad y los adolecentes

La Ciudad y los Perros Es un libro recomendable porque aunque trata una realidad específica, cualquiera que haya estado en una escuela y con mayor razón en un internado puede fácilmente encontrar ecos de su propia adolescencia en la novela; amén de las descripciones vívidas, el dibujo de los personajes y los distintos momentos de crisis. Si no la han leído, los invito a leerla, al igual que las demás novelas de Mario Vargas...

The wonders of Vargas Llosa

La ciudad y los perros is one of the best novels in contemporary Latinamerican literature. It is a delightful piece of Mr. Vargas Llosa's prose, his use of several narrators, his use of several times and his marvelous use of comas. It is also an open window for his Peru; I haven't been to Peru, but I already know that when I go, I will always carry Mr. Vargas Llosa's flavour in my mouth; not only from La ciudad y los perros...

muy bueno,

muy bueno, aunque no el mejor de sus libros, esas historias sobre colegios militares tienen su publico, y puede ser que no sea muy amante de esas lecturas, pero hay que darle sus meritos, el usa el estilo de contar las cosas comenzando desde la mitad de las mismas, yendo al principio y finalizando. no se la recomiendo a nadie como primera lectura de vargas llosa, es mejor comenzar por la casa verde, mas intensa, mas madura...

A+ book, C- translation

The Time of the Hero is one of the best books of our time, and ideal for The American Scholar. Llosa's writing style incorporates insights about life, war, love, fraternity, and humanity in a characteristically intelligent way. The subject matter is both informative and universal, and the presentation is unique and intellectually appealing. The book is multi-faceted, layered, and intriguing. Unfortunately, the translation...
