Overview

EDICIÓN ESPECIAL 30.º ANIVERSARIO

El libro más autobiográfico de Vargas Llosa: la memoria del surgimiento de sus vocaciones literaria y política.

«La escritura de Mario Vargas Llosa ha dado forma a nuestra imagen de Sudamérica y tiene su propio capítulo en la historia de la literatura contemporánea. En sus primeros años, fue un renovador de la novela; hoy, un poeta épico». -Per Wästberg, presidente del Comité Nobel

«Se escribe para llenar vacíos, para tomarse desquites contra la realidad, contra las circunstancias».

La obra de Vargas Llosa se sustenta en numerosos acontecimientos personales que transcurrieron en su juventud. La difícil relación con un padre duro y violento, el nacimiento de la vocación de escritor como oposición a esa autoridad, los años del Colegio Militar Leoncio Prado, la precoz vida bohemia, la precipitada boda con «la tía Julia» o la existencia real de «la Casa Verde».

Además, y a modo de contrapeso, conocemos la corta pero intensa carrera política del autor. Esos tres años que transcurrieron desde la improvisada movilización popular de la plaza San Martín en oposición a la política de Alan García hasta la definitiva derrota ante Fujimori.

El pez en el agua es un libro cargado de experiencias que se nos muestran desnudas y sinceras, sin recurrir a la ficción, acompañadas tan sólo de la prosa hipnótica, reveladora y magistral de Mario Vargas Llosa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

30th Anniversary Edition

Nobel Laureate Mario Vargas Llosa recounts his life from his birth in Arequipa through his 1990 bid for the Peruvian presidency and reveals the experiences that he transformed into literary works.

This work by the renowned Peruvian author allows us to glimpse into the key years of his youth until his candidacy for President of Peru. These are stark, unadorned truths revealed through his hypnotic and masterly prose. The strained relationship between the author and his harsh, violent father; the discovery of his calling as a writer as a means to oppose parental authoritarianism, the precocious bohemia, the hasty wedding with “la tía Julia” (“Aunt Julia”) and the short, yet intense, political career of the writer.
