«El pez en el agua» is the autobiography of Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Planeta Pub Corp in paperback (541 pages, in Spanish).
The author evokes his childhood and youth in Peru, with the difficult relationship with his father, the Leoncio Prado military school and his bohemian beginnings, and contrasts them with the account of the three years of campaigning that led him to run for the country's presidency in 1990. These experiences, he also shows, later nourished his narrative work.
Subtitled «Memorias», it belongs to the Biblioteca Breve collection. The edition dates from 1995.
For readers of memoirs and biographies, and for those who follow the literary and political career of Mario Vargas Llosa in Peru.
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquess of Vargas Llosa was a Peruvian novelist, journalist, essayist, and politician. Vargas Llosa was one of the most significant Latin American novelists and essayists and one of the leading writers of his generation. Some critics consider him to have had a more substantial international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom. In 2010, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for "his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat".
