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: Vargas Llosa, Premio Nobel de Literatura y Principe de Asturias de las Letras, relata el fin de una era dando voz al impecable e implacable general Trujillo, apodado el Chivo, y al sosegado y habil doctor Balaguer (sempiterno presidente de la Republica Dominicana).
Uno de los mejores libros en espanol de los ultimos 25 anos segun Babelia. Por que regresa Urania Cabral a la isla que juro no volver a pisar? Por que sigue vacia y llena de miedo desde los catorce anos? Por que no ha tenido un solo amor?
En La Fiesta del Chivo (2000) asistimos a un doble retorno. Mientras Urania visita a su padre en Santo Domingo, volvemos a 1961, cuando la capital dominicana aun se llamaba Ciudad Trujillo. Alli un hombre que no suda tiraniza a tres millones de personas sin saber que se gesta una maquiavelica transicion a la democracia.
Con un ritmo y una precision dificilmente superables, este peruano universal muestra que la politica puede consistir en abrirse camino entre cadaveres, y que un ser inocente puede convertirse en un regalo truculento.
Mejor novela espanola del siglo XXI segun los expertos consultados por el diario ABC.
Resenas: Mario Vargas Llosa ha vuelto a la novela historica con el arte acumulado tras su ya extenso periplo literario. El resultado es un libro esplendido, de lo mejor que ha dado su innegable talento. Joaquin Marco, El Cultural de El Mundo
Una estructura perfectamente engarzada, donde el desarrollo de las tres lineas argumentales se refuerza sostenidamente a un ritmo apasionante de thriller politico e intriga dramatica.
Fietta Jarque, Babelia
Esta novela atrapara a todo aquel que caiga en sus fauces. El festin narrativo organizado por el autor invita a continuar insomne hasta el ultimo lamento de esperanza final... podemos disfrutar, una vez mas, de un talento torrencial, el que se vierte en las voces y acontecimientos de una obra llena de incertidumbres morales. Andres Magro, Diario 16
El doctor Vargas Llosa ha escrito mucho mas que la historia de un magnicidio... Esta es la vuelta triunfal a su mejor literatura. Javier Aparicio, El Periodico de Catalunya
Pletorico de imaginacion, tecnica narrativa y altura de pensamiento, vuelve el mejor Mario Vargas Llosa con La Fiesta del Chivo , una feroz critica de la tirania impuesta por Trujillo a la Republica Dominicana y una excepcional novela sobre la corrupcion que envuelve cualquier forma absolutista de ejercicio de poder. Francisco Garcia Perez, La Nueva Espana
ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONHaunted all her life by feelings of terror and emptiness, forty-nine-year-old Urania Cabral returns to her native Dominican Republic - and finds herself reliving the events of l961, when the capital was still called Trujillo City and one old man terrorized a nation of three million. Rafael Trujillo, the depraved ailing dictator whom Dominicans call the Goat, controls his inner circle with a combination of violence and blackmail. In Trujillo's gaudy palace, treachery and cowardice have become a way of life. But Trujillo's grasp is slipping. There is a conspiracy against him, and a Machiavellian revolution already underway that will have bloody consequences of its own. In this 'masterpiece of Latin American and world literature, and one of the finest political novels ever written' (Bookforum), Mario Vargas Llosa recounts the end of a regime and the birth of a terrible democracy, giving voice to the historical Trujillo and the victims, both innocent and complicit, drawn into his deadly orbit.

Mientras Ismael desafía todas las convenciones de su clase, Felícito se aferra a unas pocas máximas para plantar cara al chantaje. No son justicieros, pero están por encima de las mezquindades de su entorno para vivir según sus ideales y deseos.Viejos conocidos del mundo vargasllosiano aparecen en estas páginas: el sargento Lituma y los inconquistables, don Rigoberto, doña Lucrecia y Fonchito, todos moviéndose ahora en un Perú muy próspero.Un libro lleno de humor, con elementos propios del melodrama, donde Piura y Lima ya no son espacios físicos, sino reinos de la imaginación poblados por los personajes del gran escritor que es Mario Vargas Llosa.

Awarded the Nobel Prize in 2010 at the age of seventy-four, Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa has held pivotal roles in the evolution and revolutions of modern Latin American literature. Perhaps surprisingly, no complete history of Vargas Llosa’s works, placed in biographical and historical context, has been published—until now. A masterwork from one of America’s most revered scholars of Latin American fiction, Mario Vargas Llosa: A Life of Writing provides a critical overview of Vargas Llosa’s numerous novels while reinvigorating debates regarding conventional interpretations of the work.
Weaving analysis with discussions of the writer’s political commentary, Raymond Leslie Williams traces the author’s youthful identity as a leftist student of the 1960s to a repudiation of some of his earlier ideas beginning in the 1980s. Providing a unique perspective on the complexity, nuance, and scope of Vargas Llosa’s lauded early novels and on his passionate support of indigenous populations in his homeland, Williams then turns his eye to the recent works, which serve as a bridge between the legacies of the Boom and the diverse array of contemporary Latin American fiction writers at work today. In addition, Williams provides a detailed description of Vargas Llosa’s traumatic childhood and its impact on him—seen particularly in his lifelong disdain for authority figures—as well as of the authors who influenced his approach, from Faulkner to Flaubert. Culminating in reflections drawn from Williams’s formal interviews and casual conversations with the author at key phases of both men’s careers, this is a landmark publication that will spark new lines of inquiry into an intricate body of work.

This seven-step path to vibrant physical, mental, and spiritual health unites body consciousness with the hearts own sense of truth and the minds best attention. Why seek spirit through the body? Because it is the nexus where soul and spirit connect with the ever-thrumming energy of life within us. Our DNA, our psyche, the hands that create and the minds that invent all are aspects of the living body and are dependent upon it. Awakening Body Consciousness combines ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science to reveal how our bodily presence, our sense of everyday presentness, can serve as a bridge toward the I-consciousness within us. Are we thinking animals? Are we minds dragging a body along behind us? What is mindfulness full of? Rooted in the authors decades of bodywork and studies of world religions and ritual practices, psychology and neuroscience, Awakening Body Consciousness forges a new path to developing conscious awareness. Through the practice of attention to our own presence-in-the-world, we are able to open ourselves to the experience of unity in body, mind and heart.
