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.

Weigh Up Containing Books La ciudad y los perros

Part of my a nobel a month resolution. I read the English translation of course but could not find a listing here on Goodreads for some reason. Its a rickety read with patches of intensely absorbing pages followed by meanderings that many a time led me to consider dropping the book altogether. Must say, it was good that I finished it in a couple of sittings. The writing style is twisty and anachronistic with random bursts into the past and swift pulls back to the present, as the story

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

A very complex novel, with multiple shifting perspectives, sometimes difficult to follow. But it also treats a very sensitive subject: violence, especially at teenagers. Set in a military school from Lima, it reminded me of the reasons I strongly opposed my father's idea when I finished high school, to join the Romanian Army. I also successfully escaped the mandatory military service, as it was abolished in 2007, although I was eligible couple of years before that moment.The premise, as I

Novel set in a military academy, I guess in Peru, and utilising multiple points of view to tell a the story of a class of cadets and the events that include the death of one of the cadets. The technique is deliberately disorienting, so much so that when I read it I couldn't succeed in distinguishing the characters - the names by which they are known in school are nom de Guerre, when on leave or in a different PoV section other names, possibly those given to them by parents, are used - the points

A difficult book to follow because of shifting narrators and points of view, but worth the effort. This is a book I'd use some criticism on if I really wanted to understand it. The awkward part of this book is that it's genre is a coming-of-age novel but it's far too complex for a high school student to understand.

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

Mario Vargas Llosa's first book, based on his own experiences in a military academy, is a great read and certainly demonstrates the qualities of writing that he used later and that eventually earned him a deserved Nobel Prize for Literature in 2010. The narration is non-linear and post-modern in that the voice shifts from 3rd person to 1st person and the story is told from several perspectives at once. What looks like a relatively simple story of revenge becomes something much bigger - the
