Sobre este artículo
New York. 1979. August 1979. Harper & Row. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0060144912. Translated from the Spanish by Gregory Kolovakos & Ronald Christ. 139 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Heart Arts. keywords: Literature Translated Peru Latin America. FROM THE PUBLISHER - A novella of both physical and psychic loss, THE CUBS is the story of PP. CuEllar and his boyhood friends. These are young, upper-class Peruvians who split their time between Catholic school and private clubs, between surfing and the soccer field. In the midst of this carefree existence, CuEllar is emasculated by a savage Great Dane and the resulting wound scars the rest of his life. After the initial shame, CuEllar attempts to weather the difficulties of adolescence, of the ridicule of friends, of his first love - and subsequent rejection - and of manhood. In his daily behavior there is a hopelessness, a self-destructiveness that overwhelm the reader. Brilliantly innovative in style and technique, THE CUBS first appeared in 1968. Now its publication in English gives readers another key to the wealth of Mario Vargas Llosa's literary production. The six short stories represent Vargas Llosa's earlier writing, and in a candid and perceptive foreword Vargas Llosa tells of his early days as a writer and the background to the works appearing in this volume which represents the author's only collection of short fiction. inventory #29930 ISBN: 0060144912.
