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 Espa ola) 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 fa ade, and the transgression of established norms seems to be the only out. The edition is completed with the critical studies of Marco Martos, Jos Miguel Oviedo, V ctor Garc a de la Concha, Dar o Villanueva, Javier Cercas, Carlos Garayar, John King, and Efra n Kristal.
