In 'The Fish in the Water', Mario Vargas Llosa presents an intimate account that intertwines two crucial stages of his life. On one hand, he immerses us in his early years, from his childhood to his departure for Europe, revealing the awakening of his literary vocation and the experiences that would shape his future novels. On the other hand, he offers us a detailed chronicle of his foray into Peruvian politics between 1987 and 1990, when he ran for president. This book, essential in his bibliography, shows us the Vargas Llosa who observes power from within and from without, and who remains amazed and moved by the memories of his childhood and youth.
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".
