La ciudad y los perros no solamente es un ataque contra la crueldad ejercida a un grupo de jvenes alumnos del Colegio Militar Leoncio Prado, sino tambin una crtica frontal al concepto errneo de la virilidad, de sus funciones y de las consecuencias de una educacin castrense malentendida. Aunada a la brutalidad propia de la vida militar, a lo largo de las pginas de esta extraordinaria novela, la vehemencia y la pasin de la juventud se desbocan hasta llegar a una furia, una rabia y un fanatismo que anulan toda sensibilidad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Translated to over 30 languages, this is perhaps Vargas Llosas most violent book. Set in a military school in Lima, where an unwritten code of survival of the fittest is imposed. Here, he focuses on the brutality of military life and the strong pyramidal hierarchy that mirrors Peruvian society, where violence, exploitation and human degradation guarantee that each layer of the social pyramid maintains its place. All the conflicts of Peruvian society arise with rage and impotence in this testimonial novel in which Vargas Llosa paints a social and political picture.
