Interpretation Conducive To Books La ciudad y los perros

En 1962, La ciudad y los perros recibía el Premio Biblioteca Breve. Así comenzaba la andadura literaria de esta obra considerada una de las mejores novelas en español del siglo XX.Los personajes de La ciudad y los perros, un grupo de jóvenes que se «educan» en una disciplina militar implacable y violenta, aprenden a sobrevivir en un ambiente en el que están muy arraigados los prejuicios raciales y las diferencias entre clases sociales y económicas; donde todos se muestran como no son en realidad y la transgresión de las normas establecidas parece ser la única salida.

Piece Appertaining To Books La ciudad y los perros

(Crítica en español primero. . . English review below)Otro libro que ocupa espacio simultaneamente en los estantes de "clásico" y "moderno," esto es por lejos la novela más difícil que nunca he leído en español. Tan difícil que por primera vez pienso que me hubiese gustado significativamente más leerla en mi inglés nativo. Tan difícil que me aburría cuando ni podía entender quien estaba narrando por gran parte del libro (y me alivió muchísimo en fin cuando me enteré que me suponía sentir así!).

This coming-of-age tale was so realistic - and its portrayal of the Leoncio Prado Military Academy so unflattering - the Peruvian Army bought up every available copy to burn the books. Vargas-Llosa's main character, Alberto, the jaded "Poet" cadet, is relatable and multi-faceted. Other characters, especially the slippery cadet nicknamed the Jaguar, are realistic and intriguing. The Nobel Prize-winning author's descriptions are vivid, the setting of Lima is unique, and his plot is

The Time of the Hero is very reminiscent of Catch-22. It, too, revolves around a restless military group and inserts you into the minds of multiple characters through first person narration (very As I Lay Dying) except we also have a mystery narrator this time.I recommend this book to those who want a more high-brow version of Catch-22.

I was curious to read something written by the Nobel awarded writer Mario Vargas Llosa and, at a friend's recommendation, I picked the author's first novel - "La ciudad y los perros".The plot is about life in a military school from Lima, in the second half of the past century. It describes the evolution from adolescence to manhood, transformation that unfortunately happens in an environment where you are forced to make a choice: either being the author either being the victim of violent behavior

Stunningly brilliant. One of the best books I have read this year (and I have had a great year).I heard many things about this book including the brutality and the sordid lives of cadets in a military school so I can't say I was eager to read. But then it is Mario Vargas Llosa and this was his first book (and my twentieth book of his). So I began and could not put it down (even when I was sick for a week). For anyone who hasn't read Vargas Llosa, I would recommend this book.The characters are

If you've ever wondered what the expression 'toxic masculinity' means, consider this book a crash course.Mario Vargas Llosa's depiction of life for a group of teenage boys at a Peruvian military academy is rife with cruelty, hazing, selfishness, violence and pettiness. And its not simply the cadets who exhibit this behavior, but their officers, administrators, parents, friends, etc. It's kind of an anti-bildungsroman: everyone is punished, no one seems to learn any real lessons. It all adds up

Lord of the Flies - With GunsAs a young man I attended a federal service academy in the United States for four years. So I identify with the conditions in the Peruvian equivalent that Vargas Llosa describes in excruciating detail. From the universal use of nicknames - half of them derogatory, the other half salacious - to the continuous, and often very creative, scheming to evade and outwit authority, to the intentional promotion of sadistic and vulgar brutality in the name of camaraderie, I
