La ciudad y los perros es la novela con la que Vargas Llosa, Premio Nobel de Literatura y Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras, alcanzó el reconocimiento internacional.
La ciudad y los perros no solamente es un ataque contra la crueldad ejercida a un grupo de jóvenes alumnos del Colegio Militar Leoncio Prado, sino también una crítica frontal al concepto erróneo de la virilidad, de sus funciones y de las consecuencias de una educación castrense malentendida.

Un grupo de jóvenes 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 económicas; donde todos se muestran como no son en realidad y la transgresión de las normas parece ser la única salida.
Pero La ciudad y los perros no solamente es una diatriba contra la brutalidad ejercida en un grupo de jóvenes alumnos del Colegio Militar Leoncio Prado, también es un ataque frontal al concepto erróneo de la virilidad, de sus funciones y de las consecuencias de una educación castrense malentendida. Aunada a la brutalidad propia de la vida militar, a lo largo de las páginas de esta extraordinaria novela, la vehemencia yla pasión de la juventud se desbocan hasta llegar a una furia, una rabia y un fanatismo que anulan toda su sensibilidad. El libro más violento de Mario Vargas Llosa.
Premio Biblioteca Breve 1962.
Considerada una de las mejores novelas en español del siglo XX.
Traducida a más de treinta idiomas.
Un título imprescindible de la literatura hispanoamericana

En La ciudad y los perros, Mario Vargas Llosa demuestra una madurez literaria extraordinaria que en adelante irá en aumento hasta alcanzar un estilo depuradísimo y un sitio de primera fila entre los escritores contemporáneos.

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."

Too narrow at the toe. I have narrow feet, but I could feel my toes being squished as soon as I stood up in these.. Bummer.

Worth the Money for a good shoe
Size: 9, Color: Chestnut
These shoes are well worth the money. I am on my feet a large portion of day. I have to have a shoe that is comfortable, but looks good. My feet swell as the day progresses and these allow for adjustments to be made so they are not tight. My feet do not hurt after wearing these and my swelling seemed to be less than usual. I received many compliments and the color matches a wide range of outfits. The straps allow for stability to my ankles. I will be purchasing these shoes on black also.
