«Les Chiots/Los cachorros» is the bilingual novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Folio in paperback (128 pages, in French and Spanish).
A group of boys from the outskirts of Lima, nicknamed the cachorros, grows up amid games and mischief in a society where virility is imposed as a central value. Cuéllar, the most fragile, suffers rejection and marginalization as he grows up. The narration combines childish and popular language in a fable about integration and difference.
Bilingual edition from the Folio Bilingüe collection, with a translation by Albert Bensoussan. The work was originally published in 1967.
For students of Spanish or French who want to read the original text with its translation, and for readers of Latin American fiction.
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".
