784 Paginas I Tapa Dura

Edición definitiva y revisada por el autor de una de las mejores novelas en español del siglo XX.

Preparada por la Real Academia Española y por la Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española.

En 1962, La ciudad y los perros recibía el Premio Biblioteca Breve y unos meses más tarde era publicada tras sortear la censura franquista. Así comenzaba la andadura literaria de esta obra considerada una de las mejores novelas en español del siglo xx. La Real Academia Española y la Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española rinden homenaje al académico y premio nobel Mario Vargas Llosa con una nueva edición del libro que marcó el inicio de su trayectoria literaria.

La ciudad y los perros, traducida a más de treinta lenguas, está ambientada en el Colegio Militar Leoncio Prado. Los protagonistas de la novela, un grupo de jóvenes que se «educan» en una disciplina militar implacable y violenta, aprenden a sobrevivir en un ambiente en el que están 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 establecidas parece ser la única salida.

La edición se completa con los estudios críticos de Marco Martos, José Miguel Oviedo, Víctor García de la Concha, Darío Villanueva, Javier Cercas, Carlos Garayar, John King y Efraín Kristal.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Definitive revised edition by the author of one of the 20th century’s best novels in Spanish.

Prepared by the Royal Spanish Academy (Real Academia Española) and the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language.

In 1962, The Time of the Hero (La ciudad y los perros) received the Biblioteca Breve Prize and a few months later, was published after avoiding Franco’s censors. Thus began the literary journey of this work, considered one of the best novels in Spanish of the 20th century. The Royal Spanish Academy and the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language pay homage to the academic and Nobel Prize-winner Mario Vargas Llosa with a new edition of the book that marked the beginning of his literary trajectory.

The Time of the Hero, translated to more than thirty languages, is set in the Leoncio Prado Military School. The protagonists of the novel, a group of young people who are “educated” in a ruthless, violent military discipline, learn to survive in an atmosphere in which racial, social, and economic prejudice is deeply rooted; where everyone shows a false façade, and the transgression of established norms seems to be the only out. The edition is completed with the critical studies of Marco Martos, José Miguel Oviedo, Víctor García de la Concha, Darío Villanueva, Javier Cercas, Carlos Garayar, John King, and Efraín Kristal.

Great ankle socks that stay put at a great price!!
Size: 6-9, Color: Assorted
These are great! I have been looking for a low profile ankle sock that is thinner but doesn’t ride down. (Picky, right?) I try to walk 5-7 miles on my days off. So it’s very important for me to not have to stop every couple of hundred yards, bend down, fix socks, then continue on my way while grumbling about NOT GREAT socks. These are not those socks. They really do stay put!!! And enough cushion to be comfortable also. So definitely a repeat!!

Great quality, no holes or fading!
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I purchased these socks a couple years ago and love them so much that I just recently purchased them again! They fit perfectly, don't make my feet sweaty, and hit the ankle at the right spot. The material is so good that over years they have not faded and even though I wear the same few pairs every day, they have no signs of thinning or holes! These are the ONLY socks that I buy. I have the black ones as well as the multi-colored ones. I will never buy another brand or style again!

Well made and perform well, a little constricting
Size: Medium, Color: Black Assortment (6-pairs)
These socks definitely keep most of the moisture away from my feet, even in wet conditions, which is why I bought them. I am diabetic, though, and the recommendation is to wear socks that don't constrict at any point. These have a tight band around the opening that while it is not uncomfortable on, leaves a mark when I take them off. So far it's been ok, but if you have any kind of swelling in your feet or ankles these would probably not be the best. My foot measures size 8 and I wear size 9 Brooks running shoes. The socks fit me just right but based on the size of the opening and the overall length, I wouldn't think they would fit anyone more than a size larger. Overall well made and perform well as you would expect from this brand.
