In 'El pez en el agua', Mario Vargas Llosa presents an autobiographical account that intertwines two crucial periods of his life. On one hand, he explores his youth, from his early years to his departure to Europe, revealing the birth of his literary vocation and the experiences that shaped his novels. On the other hand, he narrates his foray into Peruvian politics, from the popular mobilization against Alan García to his defeat against Fujimori in the 1990 presidential elections. With a hypnotic and revealing prose, Vargas Llosa offers us a sincere and non-fictional look at the personal and political events that marked his life and work.
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".
