La ciudad y los perros is a novel by Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa, published in 1963. The story takes place in the Leoncio Prado Military School, where a group of young students experience the cruelty and violence of a misunderstood military education. The novel criticizes the erroneous concept of virility and the consequences of a brutal military education, showing how the vehemence and passion of youth can run wild to fury and fanaticism, nullifying all sensitivity. This edition by Alfaguara, published in 2011, has 532 pages and an illustrated dust jacket.
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".
