Summary
Mario Vargas Llosa: The Adventures of a Naughty Girl
At a very early age, Ricardo realizes the dream he had in his native Lima for as long as he could remember: to live in Paris. But a reunion with the love of his youth will change everything. A young girl, non-conformist, adventurer, pragmatic and restless, will pull him out of the small world of his ambitions. Witnessing periods of turmoil and prosperity in cities such as London, Paris, Tokyo or Madrid, which are here much more than scenes of events, both will see how their lives intertwine, but do not completely coincide. And yet, from that dance of meeting and passing, the story will become more and more intense, from page to page, until it allows the reader to be completely immersed in the emotional universe of the hero. Creating an amazing tension between the comic and the tragic, Mario Vargas Ljosa plays with reality and fiction to present a story in which love is presented to us as something that cannot be changed, as the owner of a thousand faces, like a naughty girl. Passion and distance, chance and fate, pain and pleasure... What is the true face of love?
